Devil's Highway #1 (AWA Upshot, 2020)

A journey into the dark heart of the American highway.

The open road is full of secrets, but some are more lethal than others. In Devil's Highway #1, Benjamin Percy and Brent Schoonover deliver a chilling, grounded thriller that explores the shadows of the trucking industry and the monsters that hide in plain sight. When a young woman sets out to find the person responsible for her father's death, she uncovers a vast, subterranean network of crime and human trafficking that spans the interstate.

This series is a hallmark of the AWA Upshot line, blending hard-boiled noir with a visceral, modern urgency. It’s a story about the places most people drive past without a second thought—and the people who never make it out.
