Driven

One Woman’s Search for Truth on the Open Road

Driven by Andrea Badenoch is a dark, compelling mystery that follows a woman navigating through secrets, lies, and danger in the underbelly of Britain’s roads. Billa Harrod is a taxi driver in Newcastle—tough, independent, and used to dealing with life’s rough edges. But when a young woman is found murdered and Billa’s name surfaces in connection with the case, she’s forced to revisit a past she thought she’d left behind.

As Billa begins her own investigation to clear her name, she’s drawn into a web of deceit that stretches far beyond the city streets. Each fare she picks up, every turn she takes, seems to bring her closer to a chilling truth—and someone who wants to keep it buried.

Every Journey Has a Destination. Not All Lead Home.

Driven is a gripping, atmospheric thriller that explores themes of identity, memory, and the impact of past choices. With a strong female lead and a vividly rendered northern England setting, Andrea Badenoch delivers a smart, emotionally rich mystery that keeps you guessing until the final page.

Perfect for fans of character-driven crime fiction and psychological suspense with a gritty, real-world edge.
