A Mark in the Road - Hardcover

by Angelique Burrell (Author), Haley Hwang (Editor)

Every tire track tells a story. At least that's what accident experts say. And there's no better expert than eighteen-year-old Mason.

Mason dreads the skid marks left by braking tires. Every mark - every near miss, dead animal, injured person - plays like a soundless documentary in his mind. When Mason's on-again-off-again crush Addie begs him to drive cross-country to help her move, he must face what he thought was his greatest fear - the open road. But a tire mark left near a missing woman's car on the Loneliest Road in America changes everything. ​As Mason searches for clues, he and Addie drive closer to trouble and risk losing everything.
Can his strange gift finally serve a purpose?
Can he race against the clock and drive 2,000 miles before the skid mark disappears?
