The Low Road
by Eleanor Harkstead
Can a lonely driver and a tragic hitchhiker cheat both time and death?
One night in the pouring rain, Alex stops on Gallows Hill to pick up a hitchhiker. But when the hitchhiker vanishes from the passenger seat, Alex fears for his sanity.
Then he discovers that Gallows Hill is a place filled with ghosts – of smugglers, witches and highwaymen.
And a young, tragic hitchhiker named Joe.
When Joe appears again on Gallows Hill, Alex dares to hope that they can cheat both time and death. But how can there be a future for them when Joe is trapped in a few minutes of a rainy night forty years before?
