A killer on the loose. The battle for humanity's survival starts here.\r\n\r\nTom is a layabout ex-student waiting for his life to start or the power to get cut off, whichever comes first. Jen works two jobs, hates both, and most days is too hungover to deal with either. Detective Burnett is trying to work out who the hell turned his sleepy Yorkshire village into a murder town.\r\n\r\nWhen the skies fill with a mysterious storm, each of them wakes to find streets filled with dead. The world they knew has gone, and their old lives with it.\r\n\r\nTom finds himself at the mercy of a deranged soldier, Jen has to flee the fires burning her city to the ground, and Burnett must track down a killer who sees the apocalypse as an opportunity for more mayhem. If they can't band together, the fate of what remains of humanity hangs in the balance.\r\n\r\nBlood on the Motorway is the first in the British apocalyptic horror trilogy readers have called \"gripping from the first page\". If you love edge-of-the-seat action, end-of-the-world tension, and characters you'll be rooting for with every turn of the page, you'll love the first instalment in Paul Stephenson's apocalyptic trilogy.\r\n\r\nPick up Blood on the Motorway today to start the epic journey of murder at the world's end.","identifiers":{"asin":"B01FGE2BOC","isbn13":"9781915093080"},"copyrightYear":2016,"publicationDate":"2016-05-10T00:00:00.000Z"}}
