Pray you never break down.... Don’t drive at night. Don’t drive alone. And if you break down, do not open the door to anyone - even if you believe they’re there to help. There’s a serial killer on the roads masquerading as a breakdown rescuer. Roaming the motorways at night, even he doesn’t know where and when his next murder will be. But when he does strike, it is with terrifying brutality. Andy, a young recruit to the traffic police, is determined to hunt the Killer down, jeopardising his own police career in the process. After the third victim is found, he believes he’s seen something crucial - but his partner won’t believe him. Increasingly alienated from his fellow officers, Andy becomes obsessed with finding the murderer. The Searcher is an outcast from society; lonely and misunderstood, he unwittingly links Andy and the Killer through his midnight searches of the motorway system. As the police fail in their search for the Killer and the murders grow increasingly savage, Andy is determined to bring them to a halt. The actions he takes bring all three together in the most chilling of finales. Praise for Chris Simms’ novels 'One of the genre’s all-time great debuts.' (Lee Child) 'A gritty, suspense-filled first novel. . . here is a new crime writer who really knows his stuff – a compulsive and compelling read.’ ( Publishing News ) ‘Simms’ fresh approach, and the way the story weaves between three viewpoints, makes this one of the most promising debuts in crime for some time.
