Rookie cop Michael Chambers finds himself at war with his police vehicle. Every time Chambers is given car 291 for his shift, something goes wrong; engine trouble, flat tyres, electronic issues. He can almost swear that he can feel the presence of something or someone, after all the car was the vehicle of a cop who was killed on duty.

As a horror novella, the first half of it works but I was a little disappointed with the ending. I can see what the author was going for, but it didn't quite work for me. It was good enough though that I will try some of the author's other works.
