Crimson Highway David Wickenhauser

ABOUT THE STORY:
When big-rig truck driver Hugh Mann picks up a mysterious hitchhiker on a lonely Nevada desert highway he experiences a series of adventures that end up threatening his very life. What is the connection between this enigmatic hitchhiker and the relentless, and brutal, series of attacks by a gang of truck hijackers? Follow Hugh as these events unfold and learn how they remind him of a similarly brutal fight at a truck stop that occurred 15 years before.

Readers will experience never-before-revealed intimate details of life behind the wheel of a big-rig, over-the-road semi truck as they join Hugh in one hair-raising adventure after another until the unbelievable, page-turner, climactic, final episode.

This isn't "Smokey and the Bandit," folks. It's a fictional portrayal of the reality of how dangerous life can be for truckers, with hijacking episodes that could be taken straight from today's news.
