About this item
This collection of three interconnected novellas follows each generation of the iconic Swagger family - grandfather Charles, father Earl, and fan favorite hero Bob Lee - from New York Times bestselling author, Pulitzer Prize winner, and "true master at the pinnacle of his craft" (Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author) Stephen Hunter.. In The Night Train, Charles Swagger is on the hunt for notorious bank robber Baby Face Nelson when he traces a tip to the Chicago stock yards. While there, he's brutally assaulted and discovers that the madman who attacked him is involved in a nearby narcotics ring with plans to spread its new drug to the residents of the disenfranchised 7th District of Chicago. Worse, this is no ordinary drug - it makes some users happy, drives others insane, and kills many of the rest.
