Screenwriter pens gritty, dark-comedy thriller

Hart Hanson, a scriptwriter for 17 TV shows and seven movies, has now added a thriller, “The Driver,” to his resumé. I’m not so sure that is an accurate description of this book since I’m not totally convinced as to how I would classify it. It seems to me to be more of a gritty, dark comedy/mystery. While it is both suspenseful and thrilling at times, it appears to be the kind of book that would appeal to fans of either Carl Hiaasen or Christopher Moore.
The protagonist is Michael Skellig, a former Special Forces Army sergeant, who came back from the war on terror with more than just scars and stories. He feels an obligation to help other vets. He was highly decorated and is unusual because he has two PhDs, one in mathematics. He makes a sometimes reliable and likable but sometimes unlikable and unreliable lead character. He now owns and runs Oasis Limo Services in Santa Monica, California. His company owns three limos: one is state-of-the-art, one is a classic from the 1950s, and one he considers haunted because of its eccentric habits.
