What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Eight self-drive cars set on a collision course. Who lives, who dies? You decide.
When someone hacks into the systems of eight self-driving cars, their passengers are set on a fatal collision course.
The passengers are: a TV star, a pregnant young woman, a disabled war hero, an abused wife fleeing her husband, an undocumented immigrant, a husband and wife - and parents of two - who are travelling in separate vehicles and a suicidal man. Now the public have to judge who should survive but are the passengers all that they first seem?
'Provocative, terrifying and compulsive. Another savagely clever near future thriller' — Cara Hunter, bestselling author of Close to Home.
The Black Mirror-esque thriller from the author of the million-copy international bestseller THE ONE.
'A 1970s disaster movie by way of Black Mirror, with a dash of Michael Crichton ... a sleek, exhilarating ride' - Financial Times
'With some real jaw dropping moments, it was an edge of your seat read that even surpassed The One' - Claire Allan, bestselling author Her Name Was Rose
'Full of twists, vividly drawn characters you'll love or love to loathe, and pacy action...it's a hell of a ride' - SFX
'Marrs is brilliant at twists and for the addicts of adrenaline-fuelled twisty rides, this book really delivers the goods' - Peter James, UK No. 1 bestselling author
