Description

Toronto homicide detectives Pratt and Ellis are brought in to investigate a series of hit-and-runs.

Someone seems to be trying to kill random people using stolen cars. The detectives try to find any connections between the victims that might indicate something else at work. What they discover is beyond their wildest imagining.

This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for older teen readers and adults who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don’t like to read!

Editorial Reviews

"In less than two hundred pages Toronto author Rick Blechta has created a cracking good mystery, one that will challenge and entertain readers until the final pages...Blechta writes with the assurance and ease we have come to expect from this accomplished author. A fine read."

— Reviewing the Evidence blog

"Blechta wastes not a minute in laying out this compact, sharply focused tale."

— Kirkus Reviews

"Unique? Absolutely. This is a mystery...that will have you, like me, reading it in one sitting. Interesting and well developed characters, a serious crime, a need to solve it as quickly as possible, and a believable and satisfactory conclusion."

— Metapsychology Online Reviews
