There is a secret hidden in Shed B in the state police barracks in Statler, Pennsylvania. A secret that has drawn troopers for twenty years - terrified yet irresistibly tempted to look at its chrome fenders, silver grille and exotic exhaust system.

Young Ned Wilcox has started coming by the barracks: mowing the lawn, washing the windows, shovelling snow; it's a boy's way of holding on to his father - recently killed in a strange road accident by another Buick.

And one day Ned peers through the windows of Shed B and discovers the family secret. Like his father, Ned wants answers. He deserves answers. And the secret begins to stir . . .

Work Description

Una novela sobre una fascinación enfermiza y peligrosa. Una novela de verdadero terror. Pensilvania, 1979. Llega un extraño a una gasolinera para repostar. Conduce un Buick modelo 1954 pero en perfecto estado. El conductor va al baño y nunca reaparece. La policía se hace cargo del coche, que ahora no funciona, y lo guarda en una nave detrás de la comisaría. Y aquí empieza una historia escalofriante, la historia de un coche con su propia vida, perversa y maliciosa. Los agentes siguen su trabajo, pero el coche de vez en cuando interviene: a veces sus radios y teléfonos no funcionan. A veces el coche empieza a moverse, a producir relámpagos y el maletero se abre para escupir objetos indescriptibles. Hasta parece que es responsable de varias muertes, entre ellas la del agente Wilcox. En el otoño de 2001 el hijo del fallecido agente empieza a trabajar en la comisaría y decide que ha de saber la verdad del Buick 8.

Excerpts

Curt Wilcox's boy came around the barracks a lot the year after his father died, I mean a lot, but nobody ever told him get out the way or asked him what in hail he was doing there again.
