It was a black December night in 1980. Trooper Earl Nicholson sped to the scene of a reported automobile accident. Arriving at the scene, Nicholson expected to see mangled steel and broken glass. Instead, he was met with the sight of a young woman dressed in pajamas - and a small, shirtless, boy - laying under a tree in the front yard of the house facing the street. Scanning the bodies with his flashlight beam, it was evident to the state trooper that the victims had died from multiple stab wounds. Leading away from the stiffening corpses were two frozen trails of blood - one in the direction of the front door, the other in the direction of the railroad crossing down the road.
Nicholson radioed for back-up and cautiously made his way toward the house.

An Interview with Steve A. Reeves:
Q: When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
A: When I was working on my undergraduate degree at Cumberland College.
Q: Where do your ideas come from?
A: From real life events that are action packed and potentially dangerous.

A: Always leave the reader wanting to turn the page.

A: I'd invite any of the crew members from Squawk 7500. And I'd like to sit down with Charlotte Haynes from The 1980 Gray Murders.
Q: Which of your characters would you least want to dine with?
A: I wouldn't want to have dinner with the dirt bag who attempted to hijack my plane in Squawk 7500.
Q: Did you have any mentors who helped you along the way?
A: I'm eternally grateful for the assistance and guidance provided by Bruce Moran.
Q: Where did the idea for (Book Title) come from?
