Descrição da editora
A hijacked New York subway train, an anonymous killer, and a young man trapped by his hidden past converge in a breathless, breathtaking thriller
Do not turn off your phone
Do not get off the train
I know who you really are
Fired and walked out by security on his first day at his new job in New York City, Ben Cross thought his day couldn't get worse. But he couldn't be more wrong. Getting on the 1 train headed uptown, Ben starts receiving text messages from an anonymous killer, showing that they've already killed someone, then pointedly killing another as they got off the train to prove they aren't bluffing and to ensure Ben follows orders. But Ben wasn't picked at random—he has a history that no one is supposed to know.
At the same time, A NYPD detective, Kelly Hendricks, is on punishment duty with the transit police. The first one on the scene after the first murder, she gets on the train to find out what is really going on.
Switching rapidly between Cross and Hendricks, as the hijacked 1 train heads from South Ferry to 181st, the secret to the killer lies in Ben's own history—why he's been targeted and punished.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The new hire at a Manhattan compliance company is fired during his first day on the job, then gets ensnared in a series of deadly games in this frenetic page-turner from Reid (The Hunter). Ben Cross has been eagerly anticipating his first day at DataDyne Solutions, a billion-dollar business that helps its clients avoid EPA fines, only to be locked out of his computer and escorted from the building by security without explanation shortly after he arrives. A disoriented Ben then boards the subway, where he receives anonymous text messages that promise certain passengers will die when they get off at their stop. Ben is unsure how seriously to take the messages until a man steps off the train and is fatally shot. Ben's tormentor takes credit for the killing, then continues to taunt him, threatening to reveal a dark personal secret of Ben's if he doesn't meet their demands. Reid alternates claustrophobic sections from Ben's perspective with chapters narrated by NYPD detective Kelly Hendricks, who investigates the first murder after being reassigned to the subway system for humiliating one of her superiors. Propulsive, unpredictable, and genuinely scary, this crackerjack thriller barrels forward like a runaway train. Readers won't want it to end.
