Love and Death on I-80 West

Tucci is a serial killer and an ex-con who's left a long trail of bodies in his path to Chicago. He's trying to escape his past when he joins up with a beautiful woman and her mysterious past. Their first common act is one of murder, and their crime follows them as they travel from The Windy City across the Great Divide and all points west. Along the way, they discover their lives and pain are not so different, and that maybe the Beauty and Beast have a chance to make a life. That is, until Tucci's bloody past finds him.

This is the first book of The Tucci Chronicles, followed by "Starting Over in Las Vegas."
