When the FBI unfairly suspends Special Agents Marina Butnari and Doug Hill, they plan an epic West Coast to East Coast bicycle journey with friends. In their profession, they're accustomed to following trouble, but this time it follows them across the country as a dangerous human trafficking cartel teams with a white nationalist militia group to eliminate them.

Danger lurks around every bend in the road for the bikers in an adventure as explosive as Old Faithful and as intense as Niagara Falls. The trip, which starts in Oregon, will end in Boston, but how?

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a crime fiction adventure celebrating the strength of friendship, the resilience of partnership, and the power of teamwork in a novel featuring beloved characters from some of the other multiple award-winning books by E. A. Coe.

“I enjoyed how the book refuses to be only one thing. It’s part procedural thriller, part travel adventure, part found-family story, and part love letter to the oddly practical logistics of survival, bicycles, motel stops, RV repairs, route planning, hospital visits, and all… I would compare it to a softer, more road-worn David Baldacci novel, less sleek and cynical, more companionable, with room for coffee, bruises, jokes, and grace between the peril.” ~ Literary Titan (5 STARS)

“...exciting conspiracy thriller that balances real danger with real people, giving readers both adrenaline and characters they will grow to care about. ...both thrilling and surprisingly touching at the same time.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, David Jaggart (5 STARS)

“E.A. Coe’s Pedaling East is a gripping crime thriller that’s equal parts adrenaline rush and character-driven adventure.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, Jefto Pierre (5 STARS)
