Publisher Marketing: STRANDED.... Julie looked up and down the freeway. Vehicles zoomed by in an endless string of lights. It could be hours before anyone came to help. Headlights glared behind her. A man got out. Let me take you to a phone, call a tow. Sometimes you could tell a person's character by their eyes. It was too dark. But she had to take the chance, accept his offer of help. If she didn't get home soon, her husband would really kill her. ANOTHER SERIAL KILLER COMES TO LOS ANGELES....
