A young couple looking to start fresh in a new town wind up fighting for their lives at a desert motel in this "sly and very accomplished" debut thriller (Booklist).

All Nate and Sara want is a new life in a new town, away from the crime and poverty of their past. So, after being approached at a roadside diner by a man offering $500 for a ride to Omaha, they wonder if their luck might be changing. But within a few hours the man is dead.

Now, forced off the road by a blizzard and trapped in a run-down motel on the side of a deserted highway, Nate and Sara begin to uncover the man's secrets. Who he was, how he died -- and why he was carrying two million dollars in cash. Before they know it, Nate and Sara are fighting for their lives -- and each will have to decide just how far they are willing to go to survive.
