For any little boy or girl who hears the Train Man speak,
Who feels his rancid breath caress their pretty cheek,
Must close their eyes, pretend to sleep, and very softly pray,
Or else the evil Train Man may carry them away.
Finally free of her troubled upbringing, Alex Donovan is able to live out her childhood dream of working for the FBI. But soon after she becomes a member of the FBI's elite Behavioral Analysis Unit, authorities in Missouri contact them about bodies found on freight trains--all killed in the same way.
Alex never expected to be forced to confront her past in this new job, but she immediately recognizes the graffiti messages the killer is leaving on the train cars. When the BAU sends her to gather information about the messages from her aunt in Wichita, Kansas, Alex is haunted by the struggles she thought she'd left behind forever.
In a race against time to solve the case and recover a deadly virus sample the killer intends to spread, Alex must face how far she'll go--and what she's willing to risk--to put a stop to the Train Man.

My Rating: 4 Stars
What a creepy story! Nancy has written an exciting and compelling book to start her new series, complete with great characters and a creepy creepy mystery. This book is an absorbing read from the very beginning and it doesn't let up once. There are a couple twists that elevate the creepiness factor and the ending is very satisfying. I purchased the audible audiobook version and the narration is very good. I am looking forward to book 2 in this series very much!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher and was not required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
