Gabe Price driving home one night sees his five-year-old daughter, Izzy, in the rear window of a rusted car. When he arrives home, he discovers his wife and daughter have been murdered, yet Gabe remains certain Izzy is still alive. Three years later, he spends his nights patrolling the motorway, searching for that same vehicle. His path eventually crosses with Fran and her daughter, Alice, who are fleeing a dangerous past, and a mysterious figure known as the Samaritan who facilitates a dark network for those seeking unconventional justice.
Fans of psychological thrillers read this for the intricate plotting and the examination of grief-driven obsession. Readers interested in vigilante justice and the morality of secret societies find a story about the lengths a parent goes to when the legal system fails. The narrative provides an ending where disparate threads—missing children, highway urban legends, and underground support groups—collide. Readers finish the book with a perspective on how guilt binds strangers together in hidden, often violent, communities.
