Publisher's note

In the wake of a massive highway collision outside London, panicked survivors share their experiences and backgrounds while anxiously awaiting help, including a bridegroom who hopes to get to the church on time, a young woman in premature labor, and a widow who would reunite with a first love. By the best-selling author of Sheer Abandon.

On an ordinary Friday afternoon, on a highway outside London, a truck suddenly swerves across fives lanes of traffic, careening cars into each other like dominoes and leaving a trail of chaos and confusion. Within minutes, an astounding miles-long pileup has amassed, and as survivors await help, their stories begin to unfold. There's the panic-stricken husband trapped in the jam with his mistress, a widow on her way to reunite with her first love, the bridegroom trying frantically to get to the church on time, the young woman going into premature labor, the junior doctor waiting to receive the crash victims in the ER.... And at the center of it all is the only person who knows what really happened, the mysterious hitchhiker who has fled the scene.
With masterful storytelling skill, Penny Vincenzi weaves together the lives of an elaborate cast of characters, exploring their secrets, disappointments, and desires. As the effects of the crash ripple through their lives, as tragedies unfold and secrets are uncovered, as some relationships are ended while others are begun, she demonstrates how the consequences of one small action can change the fates of many, many people in the blink of an eye.

Annotation

After a big-rig truck crashes across five lanes of traffic on a freeway outside of London causing a mile-long pile-up, the lives of the victims become dramatically interwoven, as they deal with their own unique emotional crises, and, eventually, with each other's. An adulterer is trapped in a car with his mistress. A bridegroom fears he won't make it to his wedding. A farmer whose land borders the road becomes involved. The trucker himself has amnesia, and his mysterious hitchhiker passenger has fled the scene. Bestseller Penny Vincenzi merrily spins off melodramatic plot lines with verve and brio, and the result is a compelling page-turner.
