This full-throttle thriller, dark and driving, rivals Agatha Christie for sheer ingenuity and James Patterson for flat-out speed.

With the roads impassable, she's forced to wait out the storm at a remote highway rest stop. Inside are some vending machines, a coffee maker, and four complete strangers. </p><p>Desperate to find a signal to call home, Darby goes back out into the storm . . . and makes a horrifying discovery. In the back of the van parked next to her car, a little girl is locked in an animal crate. </p><p>Who is the child? Why has she been taken? And how can Darby save her?</p><p>There is no cell phone reception, no telephone, and no way out. One of her fellow travelers is a kidnapper.
