Paperback: A woman is shot as she waits for her train to work. An hour later, a second woman is gunned down as she rides an elevated train through the Loop. And then a church is the target of a chemical weapons attack. The city of Chicago is under siege.
Michael Kelly is tasked by Chicago's mayor and the FBI to hunt down the killers. As he gets nearer the truth, his instincts lead him to a retired cop, a shady train company and an unnerving link to his own past. Meanwhile, a weapon that could kill millions ticks away in the belly of the city.
Hard boiled private investigator Michael Kelly returns in the flawless and third follow-up, The Third Rail (2010), to the acclaimed The Chicago Way (2007) and The Fifth Floor (2008).
