Survival is murder . . .

An overturned coach full of students. All of them are trapped.

Reviews

  • An exceptional thriller that blew me away with its original, high-octane plot, jaw-dropping twists and characters I cared about. When I wasn't reading The Drift I was thinking about it. A writer at the top of her game
