One-Way Ticket to Midnight

Gary Jonas presents a supernatural thriller centered on Roy Porter, a down-and-out bluesman residing on the streets of Tulsa. The narrative begins with a series of killings that confuse local law enforcement, who suspect a standard serial offender. Porter recognizes the pattern as something else entirely and realizes he is likely the next target. His survival depends on recruiting Jim, an aging biker with a violent history and a haunted past. Together, the two men pursue the killer through the mystic circles of Tulsa, confronting their own crushed dreams and personal weaknesses along the way. The story operates within the horror genre, blending elements of the supernatural with noir sensibilities. It draws on traditions of urban fantasy and gritty character studies, focusing on marginalized figures who must rely on each other to survive a deadly threat. The plot moves rapidly as the protagonists race down what is described as Death's highway. Jonas structures the narrative around this desperate pursuit, emphasizing the psychological toll on characters who have failed in conventional life. The book suits readers who enjoy dark fiction featuring flawed heroes and supernatural mysteries set in American cities. It may not appeal to those seeking lighthearted adventure or traditional police procedurals without paranormal elements.
