Three people have disappeared without a trace.

A young hardware store clerk.

A jealous boyfriend.

A college student whose abandoned car was found beside an Ohio highway.

Detective Will Hayworth believes the cases are connected—but he has no suspect, no bodies, and almost no evidence.

Then another young woman narrowly escapes an attempted abduction on a lonely country road.

For the first time, the police have a witness.

A composite sketch.

A description of the killer.

A name supplied by the media:

The Bywayman.

As fear spreads across southwest Ohio, Hayworth races to stop a predator who always seems to stay one step ahead.

But the greatest danger isn’t what the police know.

It’s what they think they know.

The Bywayman is the third novel in the Deadly Byways series—a psychological crime thriller set in the late 1970s, where quiet country roads hide deadly secrets.
