Summary
In November 2011, 48-year-old Scott Davis sat in the backseat of a musty Buick–traveling on a rural highway in the Ohio Appalachia. He thought he was on his way to a gig as a farm caretaker, a job he secured on Craigslist. But it was a murderous trap, laid by a psychopathic serial killer named Richard Beasley. Beasley had already murdered three men during a four-month stretch before he encountered Scott. After the shooting, Beasley remained armed, dangerous and on the lamb. Would police be able to find him before the death count mounts?
