Overview

"A routine train hijacking goes spectacularly haywire when the Jersey mob, a tycoon, an accountant, some small-time crooks and normal, mostly well-adjusted people all lose their minds as they clumsily tussle with each other for fortune, love and some smokes in a wild tale that features all the essential elements of great literature: heartless betrayal, a desperate search for happiness, overwhelming greed, senseless murder, avoidable accidental deaths, multiple assaults and general mayhem. ""Gene Upchurch's novels and stories are a tangled and confused mess of normal people who go crazy and behave badly but he's one of the true literary geniuses just waiting to be discovered. Everyone should buy his books or at least borrow one from somebody."""
