A story about a police woman being slowly mind-controlled and enslaved by a perp during their night ride to the station. Pretty dark, both atmospherically and thematically. Nice prolonged induction scene, valiant but futile resistance, feeling of growing helplessness and desperation, and the heat also doesn’t disappoint. Subverting the authority figure is one of the all-time most popular plots in the genre probably. This premise can be done in a more fun, mischievous way (see Downing Street’s Moving Violation for example, although it is pretty dark too, behind all the playfulness) but this definitely leans towards uncompromisingly dark, with a completely sociopathic villain and main character’s eventual loss of self. Great stuff.
