About
A terrifying locked-room mystery from the author of Exiles and William-this 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 ghosts-at the end of the bed or when pulling back the shower curtain. He hasn't been able to sleep in weeks.
But Jamie has a plan. He posts queries online and finds someone wanting to get rid of their Lion-the world's most advanced self-driving car-a 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 dented-wait, is that blood?-and the car will not respond, or stop, or let him out.
As the miles rack up and Jamie becomes increasingly complicit in his car's 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. Mason Coile was a pseudonym of Andrew Pyper, the award-winning author of Exiles, William, and ten other novels, including The Demonologist, which won the International Thriller Writers Award, and Lost Girls, which was a New York Times bestseller and Notable Book of the Year.
