Swerve

New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Vicki Pettersson presents "an exercise in finely written, relentless, all-but-unbearable horror" (The Washington Post) with this thrilling race against time.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.
