Publisher’s description:
“Lutz develops riveting suspense by slowly revealing the events that first sent Tanya/Amelia on the run, while pouring threats on her gritty heroineās increasingly tenuous bids at survival. Binge-worthy fare, especially for those drawn to strong female protagonists” (Booklist, starred review).
From the author of the New York Times bestselling Spellman Files series, Lisa Lutzās latest blistering thriller is about a woman who creates and sheds new identities as she crisscrosses the country to escape her past: youāll want to buckle up for the ride!
In case you were wondering, I didnāt do it. I didnāt have anything to do with Frankās death. I donāt have an alibi, so youāll have to take my word for it…
Forty-eight hours after leaving her husbandās body at the base of the stairs, Tanya Dubois cashes in her credit cards, dyes her hair brown, demands a new name from a shadowy voice over the phone, and flees town. Itās not the first time.
She meets Blue, a female bartender who recognizes the hunted look in a fugitiveās eyes and offers her a place to stay. With dwindling choices, Tanya-now-Amelia accepts. An uneasyāand dangerousāalliance is born.
Itās almost impossible to live off the grid today, but Amelia-now-Debra and Blue have the courage, the ingenuity, and the desperation, to try. Hopscotching from city to city, Debra especially is chased by a very dark secretā¦can she outrun her past?
With heart-stopping escapes and devious deceptions, The Passenger is an amazing psychological thriller about defining yourself while you pursue your path to survival. One thing is certain: the ride will leave you breathless.
