F. B. I. Behavioral Analyst Specialist Alex Donovan "felt like all the blood in her body had frozen, as if time itself had come to a halt". Seeing those awful phrases painted on the side of a rail car brought back equally awful memories from her childhood, for Alex remembered those words being chanted from the lips of a woman who had been designated as her guardian, although undeniably unstable, her Aunt Willow had taken Alex in after the death of her mother. Frankly, at this point Alex has no choice but to pull herself together in order to aggressively utilize her inside knowledge, the agency is frantically tracking a serial killer, a psychopath who has declared himself as the "Destroyer", his signature being the "Train Man". But what about the cost to Alex's psyche? Revisiting her nightmares will be no easy assignment.
As Alex and her team race forward to avoid a sixth death and the possible unleashing of a powerful pathogen, her subconscious reverts back to episodes of paranoia, near panic attacks, and questions . . . . . all sorts of questions about God . . . . angels . . . . and demons. Fellow agent Logan Hart, nicknamed "The Preacher", calmly and gently probes Alex's misconceptions, assuring her of the existence of a one true God whose characteristics are nothing like the cultish influences of her past. Will it be enough? Will Alex know who to call on in her darkest hour . . . "or else the evil Train Man may carry them(her) away".
BackCover Blurb:
Now
that Alexandra "Alex" Donovan is finally free of her troubled
upbringing, she's 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 Kansas and Missouri contact
them about bodies found on freight trains traveling across the
country--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 while battling her own weaknesses, Alex must face how far
she'll go--and what she's willing to risk--to put a stop to the Train
Killer.
