Late-Night Rides Book Three: I Picked Up a Driver Who Vanished Three Years Ago

By R NM

The road only pings twice. The second time, it has already chosen you.

Claire Navarro drives late at night because one more fare can cover one more bill. At 2:46 a.m., a high-paying request appears, expires, and then returns for more money.

She accepts.

Her passenger is Evan Mercer-a rideshare driver who vanished three years ago and has not aged a day. He is terrified of the destination on Claire's screen: 1404 Blackwood Lane.

When an unseen passenger buckles into the back seat and Claire's car begins following a road that should not exist, she discovers that Blackwood does more than steal drivers. It takes names, faces, memories, homes, and the futures people are desperate to reclaim.

Then the route marks Claire's eleven-year-old daughter as its next driver.

To bring Sophie home, Claire must cross abandoned dispatch centers, impossible libraries, and fifteen years of stolen time. But every warning feeds the road, every story gives it another route, and every promised ending comes with someone left behind.

Some roads are haunted by the dead. Blackwood is haunted by everyone who tried to bring them home.
