Desperate Journeys by Russ Towne takes readers on a thrill ride with five gripping stories of suspense where ordinary people face impossibly long odds, conquer fear, and find the strength to survive horrifying circumstances. Desperate Journey It's everyone's worst highway nightmare. A breakdown on the road to the "happiest place on Earth" leads to a night of terror for one teenage boy. No Choice at All A road trip for an interview with the boss turns into a night of lethal danger and desperate courage when a man stops to give roadside assistance. The Blood Oath A mother's secret, a lost identity, and a father's decision bring peril to a man who learns who he is and what he's made of in trying to save a young woman. The Misunderstanding A luggage mix-up focuses a violent criminal's attention upon a mild-mannered man and his family. The Patsy A swindler with violent tendencies discovers elderly widows can be dangerous, too.
