A routine late-night stop at an Interstate 80 rest area changes everything.
When a young woman disappears without a trace, Detective Sarah Mitchell is assigned what appears to be a single missing-person investigation. But when her body is discovered weeks later, carefully staged miles away from where she vanished, the evidence points to something far more disturbing. A hand-carved wooden token. No forensic mistakes. No obvious motive. No witnesses.
Then another victim is found in another state.
As bodies begin appearing hundreds of miles apart, Sarah and a multi-state task force uncover a terrifying pattern: a highly organized serial killer is using America's interstate highway system to cross jurisdictions, exploit investigative delays, and stay one step ahead of law enforcement. Every crime scene is meticulously planned. Every clue is intentional. Every state line becomes another obstacle in the race for justice.
With the help of FBI Behavioral Analyst Daniel Brooks, forensic experts, and investigators from multiple agencies, Sarah must piece together a trail of evidence stretching across the Midwest before another innocent traveler disappears into the darkness.
But this killer isn't simply murdering his victims.
He's studying the investigation.
Perfect for fans of police procedurals, detective mysteries, serial killer thrillers, forensic investigations, FBI crime fiction, and psychological suspense, The Interstate Killer delivers relentless tension, authentic investigative work, and shocking twists that build toward an unforgettable conclusion.
One highway. Multiple jurisdictions. One relentless killer.
The Interstate Killer is the explosive first novel in The Interstate Killer Trilogy by Prasanth N.M., a gripping crime thriller series where every mile brings the investigators closer to the truth... and the killer closer to the next victim.
