Nothing Good Happens After Midnight

The 105 Truck Stop along the interstate in the town of Oldsmar is a busy hub that attracts plenty of shady characters. But the mood grows darker when the ladies that frequent this rest stop go missing. Then start turning up dead. 

Found along highways and near truck stops, these poor women are thrown away like bags of trash. Beaten beyond recognition. Strangled. The crime scenes were horrific. Sadly, many turn a blind eye, even local authorities.

Enter upstart cop Callahan “Cal” Raven who takes the words “Protect and Serve” to heart. As a teen, Cal sees death in all its ugliness, and through this lens he sees these victims as mothers, sisters and daughters. He sees them as human beings. He knows their lives deserve more than a free ride to the morgue, a toe tag and a Jane Doe designation.

As Cal’s career grows, so too does the body count. He digs into these cases against his superiors’ wishes, a decision that jeopardizes his job – and his life. Yet through dogged determination, he discovers a pattern to these murders.

On his quest to find the predator, Cal must contend with cronyism and corruption within the Oldsmar Police Department, media scrutiny, increasing oversight from state police, growing unease in the community and the FBI.

Overcoming his own demons and insecurities, Cal investigates each death, follows the clues and tracks the killer. But time’s running out with each passing mile. Will Cal find the killer before another body turns up? Will he maintain his wits? This riveting true fiction tale will keep you guessing till the final page.
