Highway Work: Ontario Noir

By Max Osso

He drove a million kilometres without a single incident.

Victor Kral has been behind the wheel of a Kenworth for eighteen years. Long-haul. Cross-province. Silent highways, predawn service centres, industrial corridors most people never stop in. He is infrastructure. He is invisible.

Dolores is a woman caught inside a network she can no longer leave - moved from city to city across the 401 corridor, visiting men she would rather not know, carrying things she would rather not carry. Raymond controls the network. Raymond controls her.

Victor offers her a ride. Then another. Then he begins to understand what she is doing. And who she is doing it for.

One by one, the men Dolores visits stop answering their phones.

Seven cities. Seven stops. Seven notes left behind, each reading the same four words: May God be with you.

When the bodies are finally connected - Hamilton, Niagara Falls, Owen Sound, Peterborough, Oshawa, Sarnia, Toronto - the trial that follows becomes something no one expected: a quiet reckoning with addiction, poverty, complicity, and the people society forgets before they are gone.

Highway Work is the second novel in The Work Series - a crime fiction series that begins on the streets of Toronto and ends somewhere much darker.
