Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Wealth. Privilege. And a last name that opened doors.
Carri Templeton had it all.

But when she’s found brutally murdered after a house party, her death sends shockwaves through mid-Missouri’s most powerful circles.

College senior Adrian Sawyer never planned on getting involved. But after the local police chief invites him to tag along, he soon finds himself stuck in the middle of it... because when police start asking the wrong questions, what began as an open-and-shut case quickly unveils a shadowy web of power and corruption that fills the halls of the victim’s elite high school.

The St. Augustine Preparatory School has a long history of cover-ups—and someone doesn’t want Carri’s murder solved. As whispers of blackmail and hidden affairs reach a deafening pitch, Adrian is forced to grapple with tough questions: like who benefits from Carri’s death? And why is everyone so desperate to conceal the truth?

Dive into a pulse-pounding crime fiction novel that’s perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Tana French, and Laura Lippman. The Ride Along is a gripping police procedural meets coming-of-age thriller where solving a murder isn’t just about catching a killer—it’s about surviving the consequences of knowing too much.
