A return to a case—and a past he fled

As FBI agent Daniel Stansfield prepares to leave the Bureau, a disturbing pattern draws him back to Denver: people appear beside highways with no memory of how they arrived, bearing the skin of strangers and a strand of hair tied around the tongue. The investigation reconnects him with the city he left four years earlier and with the trauma of his childhood. Set against Colorado’s frozen wilderness, the story combines a supernatural mystery with themes of grief, memory, and the persistence of the past. The publisher also describes the novel as a love letter to Stephen King’s The Shining.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in psychological and supernatural horror.
  • Those drawn to mysteries built around unsettling recurring incidents.
  • Readers looking for horror that engages with grief and childhood trauma.

Book overview

An instant USA Today bestseller!

"A sharp, dark supernatural horror that gripped me from start to finish."--V. E. Schwab, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Every instinct tells him to run. Every memory tells him he can't.

Special Agent Daniel Stansfield is ready for a change. Burnt out and defeated by the job, it's his last day with the FBI. But before he can turn in his badge, he's summoned back to Denver, the city he ran from four years ago, with a chilling message: it's happening again.

Seemingly innocent people are waking up on the side of the highway, with no memory of how they got there, wearing the skin of victims they've allegedly never met. And they each share one haunting detail: a strand of a stranger's hair is tied around their tongue.

Now Daniel is pulled back into the gruesome cycle, and every clue leads him deeper into the shadows of his own past. He will have to confront the ghosts of his traumatic childhood and face what's been hunting him all along-- before he and the people he loves become the next victims.

Headlights is both a heartfelt examination on grief and a love letter to Stephen King's The Shining in this pulse-pounding hunt across the frozen wilderness of Colorado by bestselling author CJ Leede.
