John L Rule, Minneapolis salesman, ventures away from his usual sales route, looking for a junkyard where he hopes to find a certain part-- the last piece to complete the rebuild of an old truck. At least that was his goal. Very quickly that changes, becoming, not a pleasant pastime fulfilled, but a struggle for his very life. John Rule has stumbled into something altogether sinister and dangerous.
What follows is a nerve-wracking, roller-coaster ride of suspense and conflict between an ordinary man and some vicious, seasoned antagonists. John must summon courage and determination he had never had tested before -- just to stay alive.

Excerpt:
...He didn't know which way to go, it would soon be dark, and it was getting colder. The dogs continued barking somewhere off to the west. He stopped to get his bearings. The office was still behind him, now a long distance away. John stood and pivoted on top of a small hill. Hundreds and hundreds of ancient, broken down, rusted cars and trucks of every possible vintage presented a maze that seemed impossible to penetrate. What the hell am I doing here? I'll never find the right truck.
Something he saw tugged at him. He stopped and looked around. What is it? What's out there?....
