“A dead-serious thriller (with a funny bone)” (The New
York Times Book Review), from the author of the New
York Times bestselling Spellman Files series, comes the
story of a woman who creates and sheds new identities as she
crisscrosses the country to escape her past.
Forty-eight hours after leaving her husband’s body at the
base of the stairs, Tanya Dubois cashes in her credit cards,
dyes her hair brown, demands a new name from a shadowy voice
over the phone, and flees town. It’s not the first time.
She meets Blue, a female bartender who recognizes the hunted
look in a fugitive’s eyes and offers her a place to stay.
With dwindling choices, Tanya-now-Amelia accepts. An
uneasy―and dangerous―alliance is born.
It’s almost impossible to live off the grid in the
twenty-first century, but Amelia-now-Debra and Blue have the
courage, the ingenuity, and the desperation, to try.
Hopscotching from city to city, Debra especially is chased
by a very dark secret. From heart-stopping escapes and
devious deceptions, we are left to wonder…can she possibly
outrun her past?
The Passenger’s white-knuckled plot and unforeseeable
twists make one thing for certain: the ride will leave you
breathless. “When the answers finally come, they are juicy,
complex, and unexpected. The satisfying conclusion will
leave readers rethinking everything and immediately turning
back to the first page to start again. Psychological
suspense lovers will tear through this thriller” (Library
Journal, starred review).
