Savage Highway

Hunting for truth, justice, or missing persons could get you killed in this gritty suspense thriller from the author of The Pure and the Hated.

On a remote highway in Arizona women are disappearing at truck stops. Journalist Johnny Sullivan travels to the area to investigate. He encounters hitchhiker Patty, who is being hunted by violent trucker Red. Patty tells Johnny of the local myth of the maniac trucker. Johnny also meets Valentino de La Cruz, a mysterious Mexican who is looking for his missing sister. Valentino is having an affair with Natasha, the wife of recently murdered businessman, Theodore Mills, whose wealth funds the corrupt police force in the area.

The local highway patrol is run by sexually sadistic Sam Roche and Franklin Norman, and they want to put an end to Johnny's snooping. Marshall Simmons knows a lot about the goings on in the area, and has a young woman captive in a house. He is reprogramming her identity. Meanwhile Johnny discovers that serial killer Donald Lake disappeared in the area years ago while in transit between prisons. And it seems he had police help. Getting closer to the truth could prove dangerous….
