48 uur
Claire is nog maar nauwelijks hersteld van een brute, 24 uur durende klopjacht als ze in een nieuwe nachtmerrie belandt. Samen met iedereen die haar tijdens de achtervolging heeft geholpen, wordt ze ontvoerd naar een afgelegen landgoed in Frankrijk. Daar wordt het gezelschap 48 uur lang als wilde dieren opgejaagd in de bossen. In een race tegen de klok moet Claire vechten voor haar leven en dat van haar vrienden. Maar hoever is ze bereid te gaan? En wat zal ze moeten opofferen om te overleven?
48 uur is het bloedstollende, los te lezen vervolg op 24 uur, waarmee Marcel van Driel werd genomineerd voor de Prijs van de Jonge Jury 2024. Marcel heeft al meer dan 60 boeken op zijn naam staan. Zijn verhalen staan bekend om hun nagelbijtende spanning en droge humor.
