Eighteen-year-old Nate Wilcox is lost in grief after his father Curt, a Pennsylvanian state trooper, is killed in a car accident. Wanting to help their late-colleague’s son deal with the tragic death, Curt’s coworkers invite Ned to become a member of the police barracks, first by allowing him to do odd chores – i.e. mowing the law; cleaning the precinct – and then working in the radio dispatch room.
One day Nate begins to inquire about a mysterious Buick that is parked in a shed in the back of the barracks. What follows is a fantastic story of this terrifying car, which some officers speculate is not a vehicle at all, but rather an alien creature from another world. As the reader flips through the pages of this wonderful book, it is revealed that the Buick could be responsible for the disappearance, murder or suicide of several characters. An incredibly well written book by a master of terror.
