R.S. Belcher, the acclaimed author of The Six-Gun
Tarot and The Shotgun Arcana launches a gritty
new urban fantasy series about the mysterious society of
truckers known only as, The Brotherhood of The
Wheel. In 1119 A.D., a group of nine crusaders
became known as the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of
the Temple of Solomon--a militant monastic order charged
with protecting pilgrims and caravans traveling on the roads
to and from the Holy Land. In time, the Knights Templar
would grow in power and, ultimately, be laid low. But a
small offshoot of the Templars endure and have returned to
the order's original mission: to defend the roads of the
world and guard those who travel on them. Theirs is a
secret line of knights: truckers, bikers, taxi hacks, state
troopers, bus drivers, RV gypsies--any of the folks who live
and work on the asphalt arteries of America. They call
themselves the Brotherhood of the Wheel. Jimmy
Aussapile is one such knight. He's driving a big rig down
South when a promise to a ghostly hitchhiker sets him on a
quest to find out the terrible truth behind a string of
children gone missing all across the country. The road leads
him to Lovina Hewitt, a skeptical Louisiana State Police
investigator working the same case and, eventually, to a
forgotten town that's not on any map--and to the secret
behind the eerie Black-Eyed Kids said to prowl the highways.
