On the Edge of the Blade

With every breath, Mac Gibbons senses the edge of danger—and one wrong move could be his last.

Welcome back to The Devil’s Road, where vengeance runs as thick as blood through the veins of Sequoyah County. With secrets tightening around him, Mac Gibbons faces a threat more chilling than confinement—and it’s waiting for him in the shadows of Issue 21.

If you missed yesterday’s post, can catch up on the Issue #20, Red Dirt & Cold Steel.

Now, settle in, my Faithful Ramblers, for Chapter 6, Issue 2 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.
