She let go of the lap bar with one hand to link one arm through mine, anchoring me tight beside her. Do something, I screamed at my hands, willing them to unbuckle the seatbelt so I could hurl myself through the open passenger window. I unbuckled my seatbelt and gently nudged her shoulder, pressing down on the corners of the airbag so I could see her face. She hit the gas and the Volvo jerked forward another few feet, dangerously close to both men—and the cliff ledge.

What seems, at first, like a case of road rage quickly unfolds into a heart-pounding chase—and a battle for survival. I had been staring at the prickly weeds matted on the ground, where I had planted my hands as I crouched next to Laura. It is an epic tale of family, secrets, loss, marriage, betrayal, friendships, laughter, and regrets. I couldn’t tell if Deep Voice was pleased or upset by the discovery that there was no blood in the Volvo. Then she added, “The guy actually said he’d give it to her for two hundred if she threw in a blow job.I spent weeks fretting about whether I would chicken out on the very first ride and asking Jeeves to investigate whether anybody had ever died at Silverwood. The sounds of night creatures worrying among themselves took center stage in the quiet night as the Volvo slowly chugged up the incline. I couldn’t tell how far we’d slid—and whether we were moments from plunging into the river on the valley floor or over a ledge that would finally tip us end over end.

One wouldn’t budge at all, and the other was wedged against the skinny trunk of a small pine the car had demolished before coming to rest on the loose soil in the clearing near the riverbank.

The phone, still blinking No Service in my hand, slipped out of my grasp once more and hit the dash with a crack.

Had they watched the entire horrifying descent from the edge of the road until our headlights were swallowed up by the valley?
