2025 Sioux City Reads Nominee Long Haul: Hunting the Highway Serial Killers is written by former FBI agent Frank Figliuzzi and follows the gruesome pattern of unsolved murders along American roadways. Today at least 850 homicides have been linked to a solitary breed of predators: long-haul truck drivers. Based on his own on-the-ground research and drawing on his twenty-five-year career as an FBI special agent, Figliuzzi investigates the most terrifying cases. He also rides in a big-rig with a long-haul trucker for thousands of miles, gaining an intimate understanding of the life and habits of drivers and their roadside culture. And he interviews the courageous trafficked victims of these crimes, and their inspiring efforts to now help others avoid similar fates.
