About

From the USA Today bestselling author of American Rapture CJ Leede, comes Headlights, a twisted tale about the power in confronting the ghosts of your past when an FBI agent with an uncanny ability to detect danger must track a serial killer through the wilds of Colorado.



Today is supposed to be the first day of the rest of Detective Daniel Stanfield's life. He's making moves-the kind that will take him far away from his lonely apartment and his lonesome past. But before he can finish packing, he's summoned to Denver, the city he fled from five years ago, with one chilling message: He's back.

The killer that Daniel couldn't catch. The killer who took eight lives in one year. Who left carnage and destruction in his path and then, suddenly, stopped.

The gruesome cycle has begun anew, and he's taking victims faster than before. The FBI are desperate to get Daniel back on the case, and he reluctantly agrees. As the investigation evolves, Daniel's world collides with Hannah's-a park ranger who has been swept into the chaos. Soon, they find themselves entangled in a web of suspicion as clues point back to his traumatic childhood and one fatal night in the Happy Inn.

With the FBI closing in and a sinister supernatural presence lurking, Daniel must confront his ghosts and unravel the truth-before he becomes the next victim.
