Rinkan Highway / Original Title: the LINCOLN HIGHWAY

[Machine Translation] It is 1954 in the U.S. Eighteen-year-old Emmett is released from a rehabilitation facility and returns to his home in Nebraska, where his brother is waiting for him, along with Dutchess and Woolley, who have also escaped from the facility. Emmett and his brother were supposed to go to California, where their mother was supposed to be living, and start a new life with a fresh start. However, Dachez and Woolley took their beloved Stude Baker, and they had no choice but to follow them to New York. Dachez had boldly announced that they would all split the money in the vault of a mansion in upstate New York owned by Woolley's family, who were from the upper class. Along the way, Emmett and his brother meet and part with many people: a sister from an orphanage, a stinking minister, a good black man who has left his wife, an unsuccessful Shakespearean actor, and an admired writer. From the author of "The Count of Moscow" comes a New York Times bestseller that has sold over one million copies in the U.S., about the boys' encounters and adventures over the course of ten days.
