Plot summary
Keith Jesperson earns his living driving long-haul trucks, a path he took after a marriage ended and an injury kept him out of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He kills at least eight women. The first is someone he meets in a Portland, Oregon bar; an argument at the house he rents ends her life. Delores Parnicke steps forward and claims she and her boyfriend committed that murder, and the district attorney's case against Jesperson stalls. He writes to newspapers and scrawls confessions on a highway rest stop wall and where he leaves bodies, marking each with a smiley face, the signature that gives him his nickname. FBI Agent Melinda Gand and a Ruskin County sheriff keep tracking him.
