max allan collins

A perfect complement to the original graphic novel and the major motion picture that was based upon it, ON THE ROAD TO PERDITION BOOK ONE: OASIS explores the undisclosed tales that occurred over the six months in which hitman Michael O'Sullivan tried to protect his oldest son from his former employees. Looking to disrupt the business of the mob families that killed his wife and youngest offspring, the grieving O'Sullivan and his adolescent boy embark on a disruptive bank-robbing spree in the rural Midwest. But as these deadly adventures forge an unbreakable bond between the father and son, a new danger awaits them in the form of a pair of ruthless bounty hunters obsessed with their capture, dead or alive.
