first editionWhy did he pick that night to argue with his wife, before she dashed out to die in a traffic accident?
Back in Washington, DC, after her death in the Middle East, U.S. diplomat Neal Hudson chose to travel by train to his vacation home in the Pacific Northwest. The slow trip was supposed to provide quiet for dealing with his guilt.
Instead, he found himself entangled in the lives of three other passengers intent on searches of their own,
Against his will, Neal is drawn into friendship with fellow passenger Brooke Rohmer. Brooke, a single mother, took the train trip to deal with her approaching middle age and a job she hates but is afraid to leave. What purpose does she have after her only child has left home to join the army, with probable service in Afghanistan?
Neal had a passing acquaintance with Ethan Coverwood, a fellow diplomat, by chance a fellow passenger on the train, accompanied by his wife. However, Neal has no desire to spend time with them on a long train trip from Washington to Seattle.
Ethan, however, is the unwitting messenger for news of another death in the Middle East, one even more perplexing than that of Neal’s wife. This tragedy binds them together, because it might indicate an American’s involvement in criminal behavior in Lebanon, where Neal is currently assigned.
As their train streaks westward toward the fjord-studded Pacific Northwest, Neal’s discovery of a devastating secret will impact their growing friendships . .
