Mark and Stanley navigate the unknown, exploring their surroundings as well as their pasts. Mark's desire to keep moving is as strong as Stanley's determination to experience everything in his path, like a dog being taken for a walk by his owner. But who's leading who?

"Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away"

This mismatched duo doesn't know where they're going, and they won't talk about where they've come from. But whatever path they take, one thing is certain: they'll leave a trail of destruction in their wake. However, all of this changes when they cross paths with a young girl. When she joins them on their road trip, Mark and Stanley are forced to face their traumatic pasts - and make hard decisions about their future.

What everybody is saying:

"My favourite thing about this book is that it doesn't just fit into one generic genre. It definitely had aspects of a thriller, also a lot of psychology going on there and so much more! It is so diverse and because of that it constantly keeps you guessing."

"Petersen kept me intrigued and invested from start to finish. Mark and Stanley's journey will stay with me for a long time."

"I was sucked into the story from page one and basically binged my way through it in less than two days. I was just too curious to discover who the two men actually were and where the road would take them!"
