D. Robb novel sets a tense drive through rural western Ireland on a road described as lethal and winding, reflecting an uneasy future landscape where technology feels absent. As the protagonist navigates frightening routes and alien details, she wrestles with what others may ignore and what danger might build from ordinary life.
