Summary
Award-winning author S.L. Ditmars follows up on his canine-inspired BIG DOGS: Book One In The ‘Big Dogs Series,’ with this action-packed thriller GASPING FOR AIR: Book Two In “The ‘Big Dog Series.’
JW North and his "Big Dog", Ares, are back!
This time North is a U.S. Marshall and member of the Serial Criminal Task Force. North, Ares, and partner, Ben Kellum, trail the Truck Stop Killer who has created a swath of murdered prostitutes across the United States.
The trail leads to a bolted gate in front of an old trailer 20 miles north of Prescott, Arizona. They cut the lock; the gate swings open with a loud groan, warning the killer inside. Will they be on time to save the serial killer’s latest victim and stop him from more depredations?
Steve Ditmars joins TCT to talk about the creative process behind the book, the plot itself, and gives us hints on where the third book is heading!
