Driving through Jacksonville, Florida, on his way to a lecture at a medical convention, Henry Steadman is stopped by a local policeman for a minor traffic violation. Before he can react, the cop is shot by a speeding blue sedan-an act of violence that plunges Henry into a nightmare world. Suspected of the killing, Henry becomes the target of an intense manhunt. Scared and confused, uncertain of whom to trust, he turns to his friend Mike, but before he can help, Mike is killed-and the evidence points to Henry. To clear his name and save his family, he must distinguish friend from foe and untangle fatal lies and dangerous truths, to find out once and for all who is behind a diabolical plot to destroy him.

      At the start of this chilling stand-alone from Thriller Award–finalist Gross (Eyes Wide Open), an overzealous police officer named Martinez stops cosmetic surgeon Henry Steadman, who’s on his way to a Doctors Without Borders conference, for a minor traffic violation outside Jacksonville, Fla. Soon after placing Henry under arrest, Martinez decides to let him off with a warning, but before Henry can leave the scene, somebody in “an old-model blue sedan” drives by and shoots Martinez in the head. Henry, fearing he’ll be accused of the murder, panics and drives away. The object of an intensive manhunt, Henry becomes increasingly mired in more violence. A chance call puts him in touch with a community outreach officer, who finds Henry’s story credible and senses a conspiracy when other cops refuse to consider evidence of his innocence. Some readers may find Henry’s initial behavior unconvincing, but once he goes on the run, the plot turns thrillingly realistic with a surprising resolution. Agent: Simon Lipskar, Writers House.
