When Carrie loses her job and boyfriend during the opening weeks of the pandemic, she's determined to reset her life in a positive direction. The answer? A solo, two-month, cross-country bicycle trip from Virginia Beach to Mendocino, California.
Yet dangers lurk that she'd never anticipated. During Carrie's idyllic journey across the continent, her greatest danger comes not from her encounters with angry animals, road hazards, or the elements. Something much worse stalks her-something much too human.
EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a novel that's part literary suspense, part women's fiction, part crime thriller, part travel fiction, and one hundred percent fun. A young woman's journey of adventure becomes one of profound self-discovery. (Introduces characters who play a major role in the A Butnari and Hill Crime Thriller books.)
Thriller readers will appreciate the intrigue and suspense that follows Carrie into these milieus; travel or bicyclist enthusiasts who anticipate an encounter with ordinary Americans will appreciate the extraordinary circumstances that force Carrie to adopt surprising positions of strength; and fans of novels that pair disparate elements of intrigue and growth will find her story compelling, riveting, and hard to put down.
