Blood on The I-90 Julie M Dryja

BLOOD ON THE I-90 is second in a series of three novels in which detectives Melanie Abrams and Tom Lavin rule as feared and respected modern-day crime-busters. The plot unfolds in the city of Buffalo, NY, in the fall of 2029, when Melanie Abrams, a 39-year-old Buffalo PD detective, becomes the victim of a murderous stalker whose calling card is explosives. As the trail goes cold in Buffalo, Abrams, deliberately playing into her stalker's hands, heads to Boston after enlisting the help of her ex-partner, Tommy Lavin-a boozing, over-the-hill, much-feared legend who comes roaring out of retirement to hunt down and kill the suspect. Traveling on the I-90 to Boston, the couple encounters more mayhem; brutally accosted by bogus State Police, they are forced into hiding. Abrams flees to the upscale island of Puckshaw-Boston's playground for the rich and famous-where she takes an apartment alone, and prepares to flush out the killer. The plot reaches a chaotic climax when a colorful cast of characters comes together to apprehend the demonic stalker-dead or alive. Unpredictably thrilling and filled with suspense, BLOOD ON THE I-90 is further engrossing by its secondary plot: the poignant, tender, and humorous relationship that develops between Tom Lavin-burley, over-the-hill detective-and Melanie Abrams-young, modern crime-buster. Crime fans-enjoy!
