FIVE IN A ROW

From USA Today Bestselling Author May McGoldrick writing as Jan Coffey...
 
In a crowded parking lot, chaos erupts as a Porsche careens out of control. An SUV crashes through a dealership window, and a Mercedes plunges off a pier onto a yacht. Witnesses claim the vehicles had a "mind of their own." Five wrecks in a row—this can't be mere coincidence.
 
 Computer guru Emily Doyle finds herself at the center of a deadly game, targeted by a hacker intent on capturing her attention. The technology being used to control the cars links her to each victim, but how? 
 Enter Ben Colter, the investigator hired by automakers to uncover the truth. As the body count rises, Emily and Ben must navigate a twisted web of virtual reality and international terrorism, racing against time to stop the next deadly incident. Will they expose the mastermind before it's too late, or will they become the next victims in this chilling conspiracy?
