BUCKLE UP FOR THE TWISTIEST THRILLER YOU WILL READ THIS YEAR.
'A genre-bending, gripping read' — Harlan Coben
'A mind-bending thriller unlike anything I have read before' — Linwood Barclay
'Could be Lee Goldberg's best ever' — Lee Child
'I guarantee you've never read a crime novel like it. The X Files meets Deadwood. Totally gripping' — Ian Rankin
A man walks into the path of an oncoming motor home in the Mojave Desert.
He's dressed like an 1880s miner. His bones are over a hundred years old.
Welcome to Barstow.
Detective Beth McDade was an LAPD homicide cop until she wasn't. Now she's working the graveyard shift in a town nobody chooses, and she has a body in Yermo she can't explain. The security camera caught the dead man running into traffic seconds after a flash of lightning that wasn't really lightning, more like something tearing a hole in the sky.
Days later, an LA food blogger vanishes off the same stretch of Interstate 15. The last footage of him alive shows him buying beef jerky at a gas station up the road.
When his skeleton turns up — a hundred years in the ground — and the dental records match the man on camera, Beth realises something out there in the desert is moving people through time.
And it's been doing it for a very long time.
