My first Sager novel, a thrilling, heart-pounding novel about a 19 year old girl stuck in a 6 hour car drive with who she believes to be a serial killer.
The protagonist, Charlie, is quitting and running away from college after her best friend Maddy is the latest victim of the Campus Killer. Unable to deal with guilt of knowing that she was responsible for her friend’s death, Charlie accepts a ride home with
a total stranger she meets, who sets off red flag after red flag as their lonely journey together begins.
The book hooked me from the very start, and once I hit the 150 page mark, I simply couldn’t put it down, and finished it in one sitting.

As a screenwriter who loves reading, I found this book a perfect fit for me. Charlie is a movie lover, and frequently compares real life to movies, so this book is full of classic noir film references that any film enthusiast would enjoy.
The chapter titles are also written in the form of slug lines, which I liked quite a lot.
The ending faltered the pace and the book’s wonderful build-up, which stops me from giving it a perfect rating. But regardless of that, I found it to be a deeply engaging, fast-paced thriller.
