Every road leads somewhere. Some places you wish you'd never found.
Five journeys begin for five very different reasons. To get home. To find someone. To finish a job. To escape. Or simply to have a little fun.
Then something goes wrong.
In Bad Roads, ordinary people find themselves caught in extraordinary situations where a wrong turn, a chance encounter, or one bad decision can suddenly put lives on the line.
A violent storm brings strangers together on the highway, where they face not only deadly weather but crime, desperation, and a family fleeing an abusive husband.
An armored-truck robbery sets off a dangerous chain of events involving stolen money, violence, pursuit, and people whose plans don't unfold quite the way they expected.
Four longtime friends, desperate to escape pandemic cabin fever, take an innocent day trip. A weathered roadside sign leads them to Overlook, a picture-perfect little town that seems untouched by time. They soon discover there may be a very good reason why.
A family vacation becomes a nightmare when two teenage sisters are kidnapped at a highway stop. Their father, uncle, and grandfather refuse to stand by as the girls disappear into the remote Flint Hills of Kansas, where an even greater danger is waiting.
And a mysterious calling card leads a group of strangers into the hidden world of the Dark Web, where murder can solve your problem, but only if you're willing to solve someone else's.
Bad Roads is a collection of five fast-moving thrillers blending crime, suspense, mystery, action, family danger, kidnapping, unexpected twists, and psychological tension. These are stories about ordinary people forced to make extraordinary choices, sometimes with only seconds to decide.
Some choose wisely. Some don't.
Because on a bad road, doing the right thing doesn't always mean things will turn out right.
