Publisher's Synopsis
A horrific accident, a dead man, and an extraordinary red truck set the stage in this thrilling ride into the past with the doomed and the dead. When body shop owner, Carl Lee, is handed a mysterious envelope containing the gold key, his life and those around him are forever changed. "Hide them," the dying man warned. Instead, Carl restores the battered truck and gives it as a birthday present to his grandfather, seventy-five-year old Thaddeus A. James. When Thaddeus is reunited with a childhood friend, he uncovers the secrets of the key and the truck he named Rita . . . and the ride begins.
