The New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author whose "skill
at capturing emotion in lyrical passages sets her head and shoulders
above her peers" (Publishers Weekly) dives head first into the world
of psychological thrillers with "one twisted, horrifying ride [that]
kept me up the night after I finished it" (Kim Harrison).
When Kristine Rush's fiancé is abducted from a desolate rest stop en
route from Las Vegas to Lake Arrowhead, California, she is forced to
choose: return home unharmed or plunge forward into the searing Mojave
desert to find him...where a murderer lies in wait.
One road. One woman. One killer.
Speeding against the clock, and uncertain if danger lies ahead or
behind, Kristine blazes an epic path through the gaudy flash of roadside
casinos, abandoned highway stops, and a landscape rife with unimaginable
horrors. Desperate to save her doomed husband-to-be, she must summon
long forgotten resources to go head-to-head against an unpredictable
killer. And she'd better hurry. Because she only has twenty-four
hours...to make one hell of a trip.
