J. Paul Henderson - Last Bus To Coffeeville (Hardcover)

When the moment for Gene to make good on a decades old promise to Nancy arrives, she is unexpectedly admitted to the secure unit of a nursing home and he is constrained to call upon the help of his two remaining friends: Bob Crenshaw, a man who has been officially dead for 40 years, and Jack Guravitch, a disgraced weatherman in the throes of a midlife crisis. Together they 'kidnap' Nancy and drive to Mississippi in a stolen tour bus once owned by Paul McCartney. Along the way they are joined by a young orphan boy called Eric and an exotic dancer. They say life is about the journey, not the destination. This book is a wonderful exploration of that idea.
