Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
My favorite Chevy Stevens book since Still Missing ...The suspense builds with every page, and the ending is a complete shocker. --Sarah Pekkanen, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Wife Between Us
Aptly named, Dark Roads is deep, dark, and unsettling. From the opening page, it's clear you're in the hands of a master storyteller...With brilliant characterizations, tight plotting, and a setting bound to give you chills, this is Steven's finest book to date. A tour de force mystery you do not want to miss.
--J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of Her Dark Lies
"Chevy Stevens is a brilliant and unique talent and Dark Roads is an instant classic. My hat's off to her." -- C. J. Box, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Long Range
Chevy Stevens is back and better than ever... Dark Roads is a chilling, pulse-pounding thriller that also tugs at the heartstrings. It's everything you've come to love from a master of the psych thriller genre -- Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Mrs.
The acclaimed and beloved author of Still Missing is back with her most breathtaking thriller yet.
For decades, people have been warned about the Cold Creek Highway. Hitchhikers have vanished along it over the years, and women have been known to have their cars break down... and never be seen again. When Hailey McBride decides to run away from an unbearable living situation, she thinks that her outdoor skills will help her disappear into the Cold Creek wilderness, and she counts on people thinking that she was the victim of the killer.
One year later, Beth Chevalier arrives in Cold Creek to attend a memorial for the victims of the highway, but it might as well be one week for the amount of pain that Beth is still dealing with after her sister, Amber, was murdered the previous summer. Beth has quit university, is lying to her parents, and popping pills like Tic Tacs. Maybe this will finally bring her peace.
When she gets a job at a local diner where Amber once worked, she connects with people who knew her sister. Beth wants to find who killed her sister and put her own life back together, but as she gets closer to the truth, she learns that there is more than one person lying in Cold Creek.
"Thorndike Press large print basic"--Title page verso.
"Cold Creek Highway stretches five hundred miles through British Columbia's mountain wilderness and has become a prime hunting ground for predators. For decades, motorists and hitchhikers have fallen prey time and again. Hailey McBride vanishes into the mountainous terrain, hoping everyone will believe she's left town, but rumors spread that she was taken by the highway killer. One year later, Beth Chevalier arrives and takes a waitressing job at the local diner, just as her sister Amber did, desperate to understand what happened to Amber and why. But Beth's search for answers puts a target on her back and threatens to reveal the truth behind Hailey's disappearance"--Page 4 of cover.
