A gripping and haunting exploration of the reverberations of a serial killer’s crimes on the lives of everyday people, Highway 13 takes us deep into the emotional and societal echoes of violence. In 1998, a seemingly ordinary Australian man is arrested for a string of brutal murders, sending shockwaves through the nation. But the impact of his actions stretches far beyond the initial horror, rewriting personal histories and creating lasting ripples across time and place. With overlapping stories spanning from rural Australia to Texas and Rome, McFarlane crafts an entrancing and thought-provoking narrative about how stories of tragedy are told, spread, and lived through generations.
