The Decoy Route

Tess Mott hasn't driven under fire since a stunt rollover shattered her pelvis and ended her Hollywood career. Now she teaches defensive driving in Reno and counts the days until a custody hearing she can barely afford. So when a high-paying overnight job lands in her lap — drive one witness three hundred mountain miles to a Sacramento courthouse by dawn — she takes it without enough questions. The witness is lying. The lawyer who hired her has sold them both out. And somewhere in the dark Sierra passes, a corporate fixer named Kline is hunting them with her daughter's name on his list.
