Publisher Review

The term "master storyteller" is bandied about quite often these days, but in the case of James Grady it isn't just a marketing phrase. This Train confirms what most readers have known for decades. James Grady is a writer who is always at the top of his game. A nail biting thriller that will have readers on the edge of their seats. Not to be missed -- SA Cosby, New York Times bestselling author of Razorblade Tears and Blacktop Wasteland A cross-section of American types - visualize an updated version of Chaucer's Canterbury pilgrims - whose actions, often enigmatic and ominously unsettling, are relayed in fast-moving, syncopated prose, each sentence like a knife-thrust. It is a truth universally acknowledged that suspense novels set on trains can't help be anything other than terrific... any fan of Grady's Condor adventures will be eager to climb onboard This Train * Washington Post * A cinematic thriller racing through the heartland of our American now -- Stephen Hunter, Pulitzer Prize-winner Brilliant! A novel of soaring imagination, This Train delivers a kaleidoscope of riveting characters and roller coasters of hurtling plots. The book's nonstop pages redefine crime fiction, and author Grady captivates us further by telling the story in a voice that is so rich, resonant and poetic that it veritably sings. Bravo! -- Jeffery Deaver, Mystery Writers of America Grand Master, author of The Bone Collector and The Midnight Lock The author of Six Days of the Condor brings his keen eye for character detail and plot construction to this. Shifting points of view, unanswered questions, and tantalizing hints of truths yet to be revealed make this an absolutely compelling read. Best of all, Grady delivers one hell of an ending * Booklist *
