First novel by the author of the Jon Spicer series. A tense thriller, noted for its simple, pared-back style, concerning a psychopathic van driver who roams the UK motorway system at night searching for stranded motorists. The idea came to him in the early hours of the morning while broken down on the hard shoulder of the M40. "One of the genre's all-time great debuts." –Lee Child
