GET READY FOR THE SCARIEST READ OF 2024 - a gripping new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Cold Cases

*********
April and Eddie have taken a wrong turn.

They're on a long dark road, late at night, and they see a woman up ahead, clearly in trouble.

They stop and pick her up. It's only once she's in the car that they see the blood.

And then they see the headlights, and at last, the woman speaks, her voice faint. "I'm sorry, he's coming."

Ingeniously plotted and heartstoppingly terrifying, are you ready to uncover the secret of Murder Road?
