Sullivan, author of Hiking Oregon's History~~~~Charley Norman, a reporter for Portland's Oregonian newspaper, is determined to expose the major prostitution operation that's operating in the city. Now the crooks and pimps are calling with death threats. His editor calls him into his office. "Charley, they want to kill you too. Do you hear me?" "We can't let them scare us into silence," Charley said. "It's people like them who raped and killed my mother. They shot my father. I won't stop writing about them. My father never did and I won't either. I want these thugs behind bars or dead. Bruce, we got them on the run, looking over their shoulder. They're scared..." So begins the frightening story of Charley's quest as he leads a chase down the length of Oregon's Coast Highway in order to bring the crime boss to justice.
