In the Path of the Storm

As thunder roars and shadows close in, one wrong turn could be her last

Welcome back to The Devil’s Road, where vengeance runs as thick as blood through the veins of Sequoyah County. In Issue #23, the final installment of Part 1, Sheriff Hart and Agent Blackrock pursue Madeline through storm-choked highways. They’re closing in, but neither realizes that one wrong step could set off a chain reaction no one’s prepared to face.

If you missed yesterday’s post, can catch up on Issue #22: Last Stop at the Lone Wolf.

Now, settle in, my Faithful Ramblers, for Chapter 6, Issue 4 of The Devil’s Road.

In 2004 an Oklahoma Bureau of Investigations analyst discovered a crime pattern along the Interstate 40 corridor between Oklahoma and Mississippi. Subsequently, The Federal Bureau of Investigations (F.B.I.) started the Highway Serial Killings Initiative. They discovered over 500 bodies of women along the interstate highway system with more than 200 potential suspects, a trail of bloodshed that coats the heartland. The Devil’s Road is a serialized novel based on this horrific discovery.

A darkening horizon on the Oklahoma plains might promise life-giving rain for farmers, but it can just as easily hide a killer. Most days, you can have one without the other, but today, the odds are not in favor of those traveling the sun-baked highways. Thunder rumbles across the open landscape, and a small hatchback rolls down the lonely blacktop, heading toward a growing wall of black clouds.
