Honeymooners on a road trip through the Badlands take a terrifying detour in a dark and twisted thriller by a USA Today bestselling author.

Cora and Jasper are newlyweds on a road-trip honeymoon, driving through Wyoming. But on their first night in an out-of-the-way motel, fear comes pounding at their door.

Daisy Mae, a beaten and trembling woman, begs for help to escape her husband, an untouchable ex-cop who is terrorizing her. Strangers like Cora and Jasper are Daisy Mae’s only hope. Sneaking off before dawn, they head for the safe backcountry farm of Daisy Mae’s grandma. The eccentric old woman is starved for company and seems more than accommodating. But night is falling. Here in the middle of nowhere, it can get pretty dark.

Two tires on Cora and Jasper’s car have curiously gone flat. No cell phone reception. And there’s something very wrong about Grandma’s neighbor. Cora and Jasper are going to discover the lengths people will go to keep their secrets buried. And that Grandma’s isolated farm in the Black Hills isn’t safe at all.

She doesn’t call it Dead End Lane for nothing.
