Brought to you by Penguin.

Read by Kristin Atherton, Roy McMillan, Clare Corbett, Tom Bateman, Patience Tomlinson & Shaheen Kahn.

From author of THE ONE - now a major Netflix series - and THE FAMILY EXPERIMENT!

Eight self-drive cars set on a collision course. Who lives, who dies? You decide.

A gripping page-turning thriller for fans of BLACK MIRROR from the bestselling author of THE ONE.

When someone hacks into the systems of eight self-driving cars, their passengers are set on a fatal collision course.

The passengers are: a TV star, a pregnant young woman, a disabled war hero, an abused wife fleeing her husband, an illegal immigrant, a husband and wife - and parents of two - who are travelling in separate vehicles and a suicidal man. Now the public have to judge who should survive but are the passengers all that they first seem?
