Crimson PulpFic - Independent Pulp Fiction Publisher

America's highways have always hidden monsters.

In the 1970s and 80s, the FBI identified a chilling pattern: hundreds of women—hitchhikers, runaways, lot lizards—vanishing along the nation's trucking corridors. The killers were mobile, crossing state lines before anyone connected the bodies. The victims were invisible, women society had already written off. For decades, the predators hunted with impunity.

Until one of them picked up the wrong woman.

Marley Crenshaw is a shuttle driver working the truck stops of the American South. To the men around her, she's forgettable—mousy, quiet, just another face in the diesel-stained landscape. But Marley is hunting too.

Her mother was one of the invisible women. Taken from a truck stop in 1973, never seen again. The police didn't look. No one did. So Marley learned to look for herself—and what she found changed her forever.

Now she moves through the highway underworld with a singular purpose: find the predators who prey on women like her mother. The ones who think they're untouchable. The ones who've killed for years without consequence.

She finds them. And she kills them with their own methods.

Noir fiction in the tradition of Megan Abbott, S.A. Cosby, and Jim Thompson—stories where the monsters are human, justice comes from the margins, and the line between hunter and hunted blurs with every mile. Dexter on diesel. Death Wish with a woman behind the wheel.
