Polly McClusky is eleven, shy, and still clings to a teddy bear. Then her father Nate, fresh out of prison, snatches her from school in a stolen car. Her mother has been murdered, a gang called Aryan Steel wants Nate dead, and Polly is next on their list.
On the run, father and daughter live by stolen moments and narrow escapes. Nate teaches Polly how to take a punch, pull a heist, and fight for survival. But as danger closes in, it’s Polly who transforms, shifting from a timid child into something tougher, sharper, and braver than Nate ever imagined.
Jordan Harper’s She Rides Shotgun, winner of the Edgar Award and now a major motion picture, is raw, propulsive, and unforgettable.
