Description
A dream road trip turned dark nightmare.
__________________________
Two weeks, 1,500 miles and three opportunities for her husband to save his own life.
It isn't about his survival - it's about hers.
Shattered by the discovery of her husband's affair, Liv knows they need to leave the chaos of New York to try and save their marriage. Maybe the road trip they'd always planned, exploring America's national parks - just the two of them - would help heal the wounds.
But what Liv hasn't told her husband is that she has set him three challenges on their trip - three opportunities to prove he's really sorry and worthy of her forgiveness.
If he fails? Well, it's dangerous out there. There are so many ways to die in the wilderness; accidents happen all the time.
And if it's easy to die, then it's also easy to kill.

Reviews / Votes
The female's more deadly than the male in this gripping story of a wife planning revenge on her cheating husband on a road trip into America's rugged outback. It's reminiscent of Jane Harper's Force of Nature, as indeed Nature and it's dangers play a part as Liv mentally sets her husband, unwitting love rat Will, tests to pass before she'll forgive him on a 'bonding' trip into the wildernress . . . This has hit thriller written all over it * Peterborough Telegraph * Praise for B. E. Jones: The perfect thriller for a long, cold November evening * Buzz * A fabulous, gripping page-turner! Beautifully written and highly recomended Claustrophobic and infused with menace. B. E. Jones creates a sinister world of secrets, twists and revelations I got completely sucked in by this . . . An irresistible voice, a unique predicament and a cast of characters that plays acid jazz on your heartstrings. Hard to take and impossible to look away A fantastic read * My Weekly * A dark murder mystery with an intriguing twist . . . If you enjoyed Sarah Pinborough's latest novel, Behind Her Eyes, then give this a try * Sci-Fi Bullentin *More details

Person
B.E. Jones is a former journalist and police press officer, now a novelist and book obsessive. She was born in a small village in the South Wales valleys, north of Cardiff and started her journalism career with Trinity Mirror newspapers before becoming a broadcast journalist with BBC Wales Today.
She has worked on all aspects of crime reporting (as well as community news and features) producing stories and content for newspapers and live TV. Most recently she worked as a press officer for South Wales Police, dealing with the media and participating in criminal investigations, security operations and emergency planning. Perhaps unsurprisingly she channels these experiences of 'true crime,' and her insight into the murkier side of human nature, into her dark, psychological thrillers set in and around South Wales.
