One Wrong Turn is a heart-pounding thriller from C. M. Ewan, acclaimed author of The House Hunt, The Interview, A Window Breaks and the half-a-million-copy bestseller Safe House.

Late at night . . .

Abi and Ben are driving home down foggy country roads, arguing about having had to cut short their weekend away when they take a wrong turn. Abis driving, but her eyes leave the road for a moment as she says something to Ben just as he gasps. A man is in front of the car, waving a torch. Abi swerves to avoid him.

You see a family stranded . . .

Ben tells her they should stop and go back, but Abi refuses. Its dark, the roads are isolated and they dont know this stranger. But, as Abi continues on, they see a broken-down car. Every instinct is still telling Abi to drive by, but then she notices the woman holding a car seat with a baby in it.

Would you stop?

For a moment, Abi hesitates, but they cant leave a mother and baby on the side of the road. Agreeing to give the family a lift, they set off again. But now these strangers are inside their car and it might be the worst mistake they have ever made . . .

The tension mounts with every chapter in this edge-of-the-seat, tense and twisty thriller. Don't miss it! B. A. Paris, author of The Therapist

Truly impossible to put down Chris Whitaker, author of We Begin at the End

Be prepared to put everything else on hold until you've finished The House Hunt, because once it grips you it doesn't let go Jane Casey, author of Let the Dead Speak

Nobody does heart-thumping, dry-mouth, claustrophobic thrillers like C. M. Ewan. The House Hunt is exceptional Sharon Bolton, author of The Pact

Unbearably tense, effortlessly plotted and packed with twists Tim Weaver, author of No One Home
