No Ordinary Pain: The Things That Make You Laugh, Will Also Make You Cry

Detroit, 1977. A time remembered for soul music, disco, and resilience-but beneath the surface, something far more sinister is unfolding.

The city is gripped by fear. A ruthless serial killer is targeting teenage girls-nearly all African American and all strikingly beautiful. Each crime scene is more brutal and baffling than the last, leaving police scrambling to make sense of the carnage. Clues are scarce. Panic is rising. And the killer remains one step ahead.

In the midst of this chaos, Darren Miles tells a deeply personal and powerful story of family, friendship, and the struggle to survive in a city on edge. His world is filled with unforgettable characters: the brave, the law-abiding, the rebellious, and the wild. Their lives intersect in unpredictable ways, revealing joy, heartbreak, secrets, and betrayal.

As the body count rises and suspicion spreads, it becomes chillingly clear-someone within Darren's circle may be hiding a dark truth. Because in this neighborhood, anyone could be the killer.

Taut with suspense and rich with emotional depth, Miles of Terror is a gritty, unforgettable thriller that weaves crime, coming-of-age, and cultural commentary into a haunting tale of a city under siege-and a boy growing up within it.
