A novel by Cynthia Hickey
A rain-soaked girl. A phantom ride home. A coat left draped over a gravestone.
Pressley Taylor and Jackson Hudson investigate an eerie urban legend: a ghostly hitchhiker returning home each year. Is it myth, or something darker?
Pressley Taylor and Jackson Hudson thought they’d seen it all. After cracking a decades-old cold case, the former law enforcement officer and sharp-witted investigator are ready for a new challenge. But when a nervous young man walks into their office with a chilling tale about a ghostly hitchhiker on Arkansas 365, they’re plunged into a mystery straight out of an urban legend.
As they dig deeper, Pressley and Jackson uncover a tragic story of forbidden love, betrayal, and secrets buried long ago. But the closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their search becomes. Someone is willing to do anything to keep a a young girl's story hidden—and the annual appearance of her ghost might be the key to unraveling a deadly conspiracy.
With time running out and their lives on the line, Pressley and Jackson must face the possibility that not all mysteries can be explained—and that some legends are far more real than they ever imagined.
Perfect for fans of chilling ghost stories, unsolved mysteries, and page-turning thrillers, The Prom Night Hitchhiker will keep you guessing until the very last page.
