A terrifying locked-room mystery from the author of Exiles and Williamâthis time set in a cutting-edge autonomous car.
Jamie Newcross wants to disappear. His wife and baby girl have abandoned him, and his only wish is to retreat from society. Because, as it turns out, Jamie Newcross is also being haunted. Every house, condo, or apartment he moves into is plagued with ghostsâat the end of the bed or when pulling back the shower curtain. He hasnât been able to sleep in weeks.
But Jamie has a plan. He posts queries online and finds someone wanting to get rid of their Lionâthe worldâs most advanced self-driving carâa sleek, private, contained vessel that is one-hundred percent safe. Or so he thought.
Because now, Jamie has woken up to the Lion speeding down a dark road, the hood is dentedâwait, is that blood?âand the car will not respond, or stop, or let him out.
As the miles rack up and Jamie becomes increasingly complicit in his carâs choices, he's forced to face the tragic past he has kept buried. Driven is a taut, near-future fever-dream. Mason Coile delivers another one-sitting read that blends science fiction and psychological horror to explore loneliness, grief, and the things that make us human.
