Stuck On 75

by Ken Kaye

George Leon is a hip, hardworking magazine publisher and quite the ladies man, too. On a pretty March morning, he is driving merrily down Interstate 75 in South Florida, when a fuel tanker blows up right in front of him. Almost killed in the ensuing fire and chaos, he wants to know why, exactly, the truck erupted. An investigative journalist at heart, he soon discovers the explosion was no accident but rather part of an elaborate plot, targeting tankers along the same stretch of highway. In concert with a rookie reporter on his staff, and while courting a beautiful Latina barmaid, George closes in on a very dangerous culprit, only to end up taking a harrowing death ride - in a tanker on I-75.

About the author

My nonfiction books in psychology are listed under Kenneth Kaye. Ten years ago I was able to take enough time away from that day job to enter the MFA program in creative fiction at Bennington and get serious.
Only one of the stories in Birds of Evanston is based on a therapy session with a client. My first four novels also drew little from the psychologist side of my life, but Be the Best was, among other things, inspired by 25 years of consulting to owners of family firms about their fascinating dynamics.
My wife and I live in Evanston, Illinois, my home since 1958. Our four children and four (so far) grandchildren have scattered to the coasts.
