About the Book: The book is a gripping investigation into the crisis of Highway Serial Killings, where at least 850 homicides have been linked to a solitary breed of predators: long-haul truck drivers. Figliuzzi examines the horrific patterns, profiling killers with nicknames like the “Truck Stop Killer” and “The Interstate Strangler.” He explores why these crimes are so difficult to solve—the transient nature of the offenders and the use of multiple jurisdictions—which prompted the FBI to open a special unit, the Highway Serial Killings Initiative. The book is based on Figliuzzi’s on-the-ground research, including riding with a trucker for thousands of miles and interviewing courageous trafficked victims and survivors who are now working to help others. It is an exploration of a violent world “hiding in plain sight.”
