The unlit road is a fast unspooling ribbon of tarmac. White lines and cat’s eyes zip by under the front tyre as the Audi drifts left, into the oncoming carriageway.

Michael squints and covers the rear-view mirror with his hand. His heart leaps into his throat. The headlights from behind are blinding. Switched to full beam, they illuminate the cabin of the Audi and the bare autumn trees stretching over the road ahead.

Michael squeezes down on the accelerator. If he can put enough distance between himself and the car behind then maybe he can see more clearly. Maybe he will spot a place to turn.

But the bright lights stay with him, blaring closer. He glances down at the lit dials on the dash, his vision blurring.

Sixty-eight miles an hour and the speed limit here is sixty.

Fiona turns in her seat to peer out through the rear window, her face stripped white by the glare.

Michael makes a decision then. He pushes down harder on the accelerator.

The needle creeps higher.

Seventy.

Seventy-one.

And flash. He’s blinded by the stutter of another fierce light.
