# This Train - Hardcover

by **James Grady** (Author)

**The new novel from the acclaimed author of _Six Days of the Condor--_set on a heart-pounding cross-country train ride.**

**"Grady's style is loose, colorful, challenging and fun. I sometimes thought of Orwell's novel _1984_, sometimes of the Dylan song 'Desolation Row.'"--Patrick Anderson, _The Washington Post_**

**"Grady is a master of intrigue."--John Grisham**

_This Train_ races us through America's heartland, carrying secrets. There is treasure in the cargo car, along with an invisible puppeteer. There is a coder named Nora, Mugzy, the yippy dog, and Ross, the too-curious poet. On board, it's a countdown to murder...

On this train there is a silver madman, a targeted banker, and crises of conscience. This train harbors the "perfect" couple's conspiracies, the chaos of being a teenager, and parenthood alongside the wows of being nine. There is a widow and a wannabe, and the sleaziest billionaire.

On this train, there is the suicide ticket, the bomb, sex, love, and loneliness. The heist. Revenge. Redemption.

_This Train_ is a ticking clock, roaring through forty-seven fictional hours of non-stop suspense and action, through the challenges of now: Racism. Sexism. Global warming. What it means to be alive.

This train carries all of us. All aboard!
