Truck Stop

When Lulu Mae married Hank, she expected him to help her become her dream of being a country western singer. But when it became clear that all Hank wanted was a wife and for Lulu Mae to waitress in his truck stop saloon, as she had at the diner where he met her, her eyes quickly strayed to Brad, the handsome new bartender, a potentially dangerous man with a dark past, exactly Lulu Mae's cup of tea.

Their sex was wild, and at times even brutal, and Lulu Mae became addicted. And when Brad told her he was moving on, she offered him money, Hank's money, nearly a million dollars, more than enough for an ex-con like Brad that no one had bothered to check.

Then a car containing two prominent citizens went over a ravine, caught fire, and exploded, destroying most of the evidence. The sheriff's department was quick to attribute the tragedy to an accident with a faulty accelerator. But crafty old Sheriff Bob, after fifty years on the police force, secretly suspected it was murder.

As a desperate fight to escape justice ensued, with Sheriff Bob hot on the trail with his theory of murder, the plot thunders to a dynamic conclusion where everyone has their final rendezvous with destiny to settle the score in this lurid tale of obsessive sexual desire, murder, greed, and betrayal in a small Southern town one steamy-hot summer, set in a honky-tonk truck stop saloon situated along the Southern interstate.
