About The Night of the Burning Car A Mystery Thriller
Driving late at night on a rural road in North Carolina in 1948, Billy Dalton sees a fiery car in the distance. He brakes, sprints to the burning vehicle, and rescues a beaten woman and a rope-bound child just before the gas tank explodes. Later, awakening in a hospital and covered with burns, the sheriff tells Billy there was no woman, no child and no other vehicle found at the scene--only the scorched wreckage of Billy's own car. Gradually and reluctantly, Billy accepts the story that he crashed his automobile into a tree and hallucinated the woman and the child in the trauma of the fire. However, thirteen years later a surprise visit from a private investigator helps Billy unravel the mystery of what really happened on the night of the burning car.
