Description
Back and better than ever . . . A chilling, pulse-pounding thriller - MARY KUBICA
Praise for Chevy Stevens
The Cold Creek Highway stretches for five hundred miles through rugged wilderness. For decades, young women travelling the road have gone missing, falling prey to a killer who has never been brought to justice.
Hailey McBride calls Cold Creek home. A teenage orphan, Hailey lives with her aunt and uncle, the most feared police officer in town, who uses his badge to control her. Desperate to escape, she vanishes into the mountains, never anticipating that everyone will think she's been taken by the murderer.
One year later, Beth Chevalier arrives in Cold Creek. Estranged from her parents and seeking closure, Beth takes a waitressing job at the local diner, just as her sister Amber did before she became the most recent victim of the highway killer. Beth's search for answers about Amber's death puts a target on her back and threatens to reveal the truth behind Hailey's disappearance.
