A psychological thriller of survival, obsession, and the women the storm forgot.

A hurricane. A kind stranger. A basement full of secrets.

Journalist Paige Brennan has made a career out of chasing disasters. But when Hurricane Claudette totals her car on a flooded Louisiana highway, she’s the one who needs rescuing.

When Diane Lavigne pulls over in a white SUV, she seems like an answer to a prayer. She’s a volunteer. She’s maternal. She offers a dry bed in her secluded home to wait out the storm. But as the floodwaters rise, the sanctuary begins to feel like a cage.

First, the cell service vanishes, and the doors lock from the outside. Then, Paige finds a child’s bedroom frozen in time—and a collection of IDs belonging to women who disappeared during past storms. Soon, she realizes that in the heart of the swamp, hurricanes don’t just kill people. They hide the bodies.

Diane isn't looking for a guest. She’s looking for a replacement. And as the second eye of the storm approaches, Paige realizes that the most dangerous thing in the Bayou isn't the water—it's the woman who won't let her leave.

Perfect for fans of Room and The Marsh King’s Daughter, THE FLOOD ROUTE is a claustrophobic psychological thriller about the predators who thrive in the wake of disaster.

The storm is coming. And the doors are already locked.
