À propos de cet audio

"A true-crime masterpiece."Don Winslow

From the FBI’s former assistant director, a shocking journey to the dark side of America’s highways, revealing the FBI Highway Serial Killings Initiative’s hunt for the long-haul truckers behind an astonishing 850 murders–and counting.

In 2004, the FBI was tipped off to a 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. They have been given names like the “Truck Stop Killer,” who rigged a traveling torture chamber in the rear of his truck and is suspected to have killed fifty women, and “The Interstate Strangler,” who once answered a phone call from his mother while killing one of his dozen victims. The crisis was such that the FBI opened a special unit, the Highway Serial Killings Initiative. In many cases, the victims—often at-risk women—are picked up at truck stops in one jurisdiction, sexually assaulted and murdered in another, and dumped along a highway in a third place. The transient nature of the offenders and multiple jurisdictions involved make these cases incredibly difficult to solve.

Based on his own on-the-ground research and drawing on his twenty-five-year career as an FBI special agent, Frank 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.

Long Haul is a gripping exploration of a violent, disordered world hiding in plain sight, and the heroes racing to end the horror. It will forever unsettle how you travel on the road.

Important topic, weird choices

the topics in this book are incredibly important and the research was clearly thorough and captivating. the on site tales and real time expeirence was great for the story. one thing really threw me off though, the descriptions of the sex workers, and their addictions. A lot of unnecessary tropes, generalizations, and cliches really dehumanized the women. it got borderline "drug store thriller" in some moments. you can describe people in catchy terms without being borderline derogatory.

On the Road

If you are looking to learn about the in's and outs of a normal truckers day and loading and driving loads from place to place as well as the intricacies of dispatch etc. this is the book for you! There is really not a lot about the serial killer aspect or much about the unsolved murders that are alluded to. Narrator is great.

A great listen

I have always enjoyed true crime and Frank’s presentation was riveting and thought provoking. His compassion for the women who were and are subjected to human trafficking stood out. I enjoyed his travel’s and conversations with Mike. I’ll never will drive by a truck stop and wonder.
