About this ebook
'Provocative, terrifying and compulsive. Another savagely clever near future thriller' — Cara Hunter, bestselling author of Close to Home.
-------------------------
The Black Mirror-esque thriller from the author of the million-copy international bestseller THE ONE.
-------------------------
Eight self-drive cars set on a collision course. Who lives, who dies? You decide.
When someone hacks into the systems of eight self-driving cars, their passengers are set on a fatal collision course.
The passengers are: a TV star, a pregnant young woman, a disabled war hero, an abused wife fleeing her husband, an undocumented immigrant, a husband and wife - and parents of two - who are travelling in separate vehicles and a suicidal man. Now the public have to judge who should survive but are the passengers all that they first seem?
