The Root Of All Evil by J.D. Taylor

Four young women, who grew up in care together and shared the pain of not being selected for adoption, decide to spend a weekend camping out in the Lake District. However, their excursion takes a terrifying diversion when a man brandishing a machine gun and his girlfriend, who is in possession of a handgun, threaten to kill them, unless they let them take charge of the camper van. After two hours of driving relentlessly, almost running over a mother and her baby, plus two OAPs, in the process, an argument breaks out between the couple who have committed an armed robbery. They take the row outside, accidentally leaving the weapons in the driving seats. One of the four friends sees her chance to get out of this situation and takes the handgun, but a struggle ensues, during which the male armed robber is fatally shot. Now with one half of the criminal duo as their prisoner, as well as the bag containing close to £200,000 in their possession, the camper van heads towards the nearest police station, but that journey too becomes a nightmare for the five passengers as the lure of the loot starts to erode the ethics of them all, and it only becomes a matter of time before corruption, madness and violence engulfs this excursion, and threatens to turn four close friends into women who are ready to kill one another for the sake of illegally-obtained wealth.
