They think as one. They act as one. They kill as one.

'Look Both Ways is devilishly good – exciting, thrilling – Barclay at his best!' SHARI LAPENA, No. 1 internationally bestselling author

The residents of Garrett Island are part of a ground-breaking experiment. For a month, their cars will be replaced by self-driving vehicles – voice-controlled, comfortable and safe.

Single mum Sandra is prepping for the huge media event, and she's ready for a driverless future. Widowed after her husband fell asleep at the wheel, she's relieved that her kids may never need to drive themselves.

But as the day gets underway, disaster strikes. A journalist vanishes, possibly murdered. And before long, it's clear something is very wrong. The cars are no longer taking orders from their passengers. They're starting to organise. They're starting to hunt. And they've got the residents of Garrett Island in their sights.

From the Sunday Times Number One bestseller Linwood Barclay comes a breakneck new thriller, Look Both Ways.
