Description
The debut novel by esteemed writer and poet David Wagoner, praised by the Los Angeles Times as "a gripping tale full of fear and emotion," has finally returned to print after 70 years...
Charlie Bell, a middle-aged, wheelchair-bound watchman at a railroad crossing, witnesses a woman being thrown off a passing train. He takes the wounded woman and her briefcase, filled with potentially incriminating documents, in search of a phone. The woman turns out to be a journalist and the documents could bring down a corrupt Senator. But before Charlie can seek help, he is attacked by a thug and the woman is killed. Now, Charlie must evade the relentless pursuit of both the police, who believe he is the murderer, and hired hitmen determined to silence him.
"A remarkable first novel by an accomplished new author. Filled with empathy, non-stop action, and perceptive observations of Chicago's underbelly.
