Another great book series that I can highly recommend: Bill Maytubby & Hannah Bond Mystery by Kris Lackey. Four books in total - so far - and I hope there will be another!
The books take place in the Chickasaw Nation territory, with Bill Maytubby being a member of the tribal police and Hannah Bond a deputy from a nearby town on the border of the territory. Together they solve crimes involving the Chickasaw people.
And I just love those two, the best of friends. They met at a police academy where they were both outsiders. Bill was the only Native American there and Hannah with her 6 feet plus frame build like a tank (topping Bill by several inches) could outshoot and outpunch anyone there. And so they became friends.
The series really works for me because of the characters. Bill, a vegetarian who likes running barefoot, Hannah with her dark, dark past, Bill's girlfriend Jill, a dietitian working with the tribal schools, and later on Leroy, an ancient trapper who smokes like a chimney and whom Hannah sorta adopts and who likes to go all "hihihi" at inappropriate moments.
It's just so... comfy. It's not a hilarious book series, it has funny moments here and there but mainly it's serious stuff. But it's still so... comfy. Loved it.
In most road books that allude to Thoreau or invoke his ideas the automobile simply spirits travelers away from routine and transit and confinement (Concord), and into the open spaces where reflective criticism is nurtured (Walden Road).

Paper Towns anyone?
Everything is good on the highway
Ralph Waldo Emerson quoted in Road Frames: The American Highway Narrative by Kris Lackey (1997) p. 80
As symbolically profound as the closing of he frontier in 1890, the environmental alarms raised in the sixties and seventies dramatically shrank the continent by making it seem more fragile and vulnerable.

The railroad adumbrates such a world where people, in this case passengers, are transformed into products to be hauled and purchased by others.

The train is a machine that transports matrons and their banana-eating children, but the car is anthropomorphic, a mother / picara that both nurtures and strikes out on its own.

Sweeping over the land often produces sweeping generalizations inspired perhaps by the repetition of forms the sheer mass of novel phenomena, the enduring appeal of regional stereotypes, and outsiders' eyes, and the unlikelihood of rebuttal.
