This comedy murder mystery was inspired by a 30-day, 7600-mile, once-in-a-lifetime cross-country road trip John took with his daughter, Jacqueline, in 2016. They co-wrote MURDER BY ROAD TRIP, and staged it based on their travels. While the destinations may be real, all events in MURDER BY ROAD TRIP are hilariously fictitious. It all starts with a monkey stolen from a secret research laboratory. Then Well-Healed Pharmaceuticals wants to interview Dr. Jason Longfellow, doctor and wannabe private eye, for a lucrative job in San Diego. Jason's nurse wife, Chelsea, likes the 'lucrative job' thing. Jason is intent on a full-time career change to PI. Jason finds himself trapped in an RV with his wife, three daughters, and a toothache, on the road trip from hell to a job interview he doesn't want. As the family stops at a cowboy museum, Border Patrol Museum, and Titan Missile base, things rapidly escalate; strangers keep trying to kidnap Jason and kill him. Jason appears to be inept at the PI thing, but it turns out Chelsea is a true badass detective. Even more bizarre, Jason experiences strange food cravings, boundless energy, and now these bad guys are trying to steal his teeth. Chelsea must keep Jason alive while they figure out who is trying to kill him, and why they want his teeth. The answer to these questions could have profound consequences for the entire human race. Dr. John J Jessop, a Ph.D. pharmacologist, spent nearly 40 years working for the FDA and pharmaceutical industry. He retired to write the perfect murder mystery. Jacqueline J Jessop has a degree in media arts and design and an MBA. She edited and designed the covers for John's earlier books, and co-wrote MURDER BY ROAD TRIP with her father. She agreed to co-write the book because she had doubts that her dad could write the perfect murder mystery by himself. She currently works as a marketing expert in NYC.
