Book Description
======
Electrifying, compelling, and ultimately terrifying, Two Trains Running
is a galvanizing evocation of that moment in our history when the violent
forces that would determine AmericaÆs future were just beginning to
roil below the surface.Once a devastated mill town, by 1959 Locke City
has established itself as a thriving center of vice tourism. The city
is controlled by boss Royal Beaumont, who took it by force many years
ago and has held it against all comers since. Now his domain is being
threatened by an invading crime syndicate. But in a town where crime
and politics are virtually indivisible, there are other players awaiting
their turn onstage. Emmett TillÆs lynching has inflamed a nascent black
revolutionary movement. A neo-Nazi organization is preparing for race
war. Juvenile gangs are locked in a death struggle over useless pieces
of ôturf.ö And some shadowy group is supplying them all with weapons.
With an IRA unit and a Mafia family also vying for local supremacy,
itÆs no surprise that the whole town is under FBI surveillance. But
that agency is being watched, too.Beaumont ups the ante by importing
a hired killer, Walker Dett, a master tactician whose trademark is wholesale
destruction. But there are a number of wild cards in this game, including
Jimmy Procter, an investigative reporter whose tools include stealth,
favor-trading, and blackmail, and Sherman Layne, the one clean Locke
City cop, whose informants range from an obsessed ôwatcherö who patrols
the edge of the forest, where cars park for only one reason, to the
madam of the countyÆs most expensive bordello. But Layne is guarding
a secret of his own, one that could destroy more than his career. Even
the most innocent are drawn into the ultimate-stakes gameûlike Tussy
Chambers, the beautiful waitress whose mystically deep connection with
Walker Dett might inadvertently ignite the whole combustible mix.In
a stunning departure from his usual territory, Andrew Vachss gives us
a masterful novel that is also an epic story of postwar America. Not
since Dashiell HammettÆs Red Harvest has there been as searing a portrait
of corruption in a small town. This is VachssÆs most ambitious, innovative,
and explosive work yet.
