"A dead-serious thriller (with a funny bone)" (The New York Times
Book Review), from the author of the New York Times bestselling
Spellman Files series, comes the story of a woman who creates and sheds
new identities as she crisscrosses the country to escape her past.
Forty-eight hours after leaving her husband's body at the base of the
stairs, Tanya Dubois cashes in her credit cards, dyes her hair brown,
demands a new name from a shadowy voice over the phone, and flees town.
It's not the first time.
She meets Blue, a female bartender who recognizes the hunted look in a
fugitive's eyes and offers her a place to stay. With dwindling choices,
Tanya-now-Amelia accepts. An uneasy―and dangerous―alliance is born.
It's almost impossible to live off the grid in the twenty-first
century, but Amelia-now-Debra and Blue have the courage, the ingenuity,
and the desperation, to try. Hopscotching from city to city, Debra
especially is chased by a very dark secret. From heart-stopping escapes
and devious deceptions, we are left to wonder...can she possibly outrun
her past?
The Passenger's white-knuckled plot and unforeseeable twists make one
thing for certain: the ride will leave you breathless. "When the answers
finally come, they are juicy, complex, and unexpected. The satisfying
conclusion will leave readers rethinking everything and immediately
turning back to the first page to start again. Psychological suspense
lovers will tear through this thriller" (Library Journal, starred
review).
