The book 25 to Life is based on Waulee Evans's twenty-five years as a corrections officer in the Department of Corrections and how he viewed it. Also, he will show you how jail affects both the inmate and the officer almost in the same way, and everything that can happen to an inmate can happen to an officer in jail. The minute you walk through the doors and down those halls, you could very well be the next recipient of some unpleasant attention or a life-changing situation. Nobody in jail is immune from violence, disrespect, or being injured. The officer is in just as much danger as the incarcerated person.

"For the first half of the 20th Century in Polk County, Tennessee, Sheriff Burch Biggs reigned supreme. From 1904 to 1948, the political machine of Biggs was built upon three pillars-election fraud, police brutality, and graft-and while it is true that Biggs was not the first or last American sheriff to permit "fee-grabbing", take kickbacks, or stuff the ballot box, the duration and brutality of his tenure makes him exceptional. Biggs was elected sheriff eight times, and when he was out of office, one of his two sons would serve in his place. The Biggs Machine tells the story of Burch Biggs, his corrupt empire, and how it all came crashing down following World War II"--

In 2004, the FBI was tipped off to a gruesome pattern of murders along American roadways. Today at least 850 homicides have been linked to a solitary breed of predators: long-haul truck drivers. They have been given names like the Truck Stop Killer, who rigged a traveling torture chamber in the rear of his truck and is suspected to have killed fifty women, and The Interstate Strangler, who once answered a phone call from his mother while killing one of his dozen victims. The crisis was such that the FBI opened a special unit, the Highway Serial Killings Initiative. In each case, the victims, often at-risk women, are picked up at truck stops in one jurisdiction, sexually assaulted and murdered in another, and dumped along a highway in a third place. What's worse, the transient nature of the offenders and multiple jurisdictions involved make these cases difficult to solve. Based on his own on-the-ground research and drawing on his twenty-five-year career as an FBI special agent, Frank Figliuzzi investigates the most terrifying cases.
