‘A literary thriller like no other…A hard-charging, edge-of-the-seat tale.’ -Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Darwin Small travels a dangerous road. A Vietnam veteran turned reluctant expert on interpreting the wreckage of fatal accidents, Darwin uses science and instinct to unravel the true causes of unnatural disasters. He’s very, very proficient at his job. His most recent case promises to be his most complicated however. A spate of apparently random high-speed automobile accidents has struck the highways of southern California. Each seems to have been staged-yet the individuals have all passed away. Why would anyone commit scams at the expense of his very own lifestyle? The deeper Darwin digs, the nearer he involves unmasking an international network specializing in intimidation and murder, whose people will do anything to make sure Darwin soon suffers a deadly incident of his own.
