The Passenger

Tanya DuBois doesn't exist. At least not after an accident leaves her husband dead and makes her Suspect No. 1. She has one choice: Run. Tanya isn't real, and neither is Amelia Keen, Debra Maze, or any of her other aliases. She is "Amelia" when she meets Blue, another woman with a life she'd rather not discuss, and thinks she's found her kindred spirit. But their pasts and futures clash as the body count rises around them...


Genre: Mystery

"At the outset of The Passenger, Lutz's narrator knows that her only chance for freedom is to lose herself, and thus, leaving one dead man behind, she hits the diamond lane of America?and storytelling?with a carload of identities, including the reader, who is carried along as both passenger and pursuer. This tenacious and resourceful heroine will keep you chasing, rooting, lip-biting, and above all reading until you reach the ending you never saw coming. My advice: buckle up." - Tim Johnston

"With whip-smart writing and a breakneck pace, The Passenger's clever plot twists and sharp characters are sure to keep you guessing long into the night, hoping against hope that its complex protagonist isn't nearly as guilty as she seems." - Kimberly McCreight

"A sharp, clever, and utterly compelling thriller about a woman running from the mistakes and misfortunes of her past. Terrific." - Chris Pavone
