Dead Mile: The first ever ´gridlocked´ murder mystery

´I LOVED IT´ T. M. LOGAN ´SPELLBINDINGLY ORIGINAL AND UTTERLY COMPELLING´ JACK JORDAN ´AN INVENTIVE, GRIPPING TAKE ON A LOCKED ROOM MYSTERY´ HARRIET TYCE Friday afternoon, and the traffic is bloody murder. Sergeant Belinda ´Billy´ Kidd is driving home from the airport, jet-lagged and ready to resign from a career that has left her traumatised. Menopause has robbed her confidence too - now she´s a traffic cop who´s afraid to drive. When brake lights haemorrhage up the motorway, the cars grind to a halt. Moments later she finds a dead driver in a black sedan. He has a metal skewer in his neck. But how? The killer can´t have left the scene without being spotted by the dozens of witnesses - so he must still be there, among them. If the traffic jam stays put, they´re all in danger; if the traffic clears, she´ll lose her suspect. The clock is ticking, but she doesn´t know how fast. ´A WHITE-KNUCKLE RIDE ...
