Book description
Disillusioned journalist Tom Langdon must get from Washington to LA in
time for Christmas. Forced to take the train across the country because
of a slight ‘misunderstanding’ at airport security, he begins a journey
of self-discovery and rude awakenings, mysterious goings-on and
thrilling adventures, screwball escapades and holiday magic.
He has no idea that the locomotives pulling him across America will
actually take him into the rugged terrain of his own heart, where he
will rediscover people’s essential goodness and someone very special he
believed he had lost.
In equal parts hilarious, poignant, suspenseful and thrilling, The
Christmas Train is a delightful journey filled with memorable characters
who have packed their bags with as much wisdom as mischief . . . Part
detective story, part disaster movie, part romance, this is a brilliant,
heart-warming holiday tale. David Baldacci is the nine-time New York
Times best-selling author of ABSOLUTE POWER, TOTAL CONTROL, THE WINNER,
THE SIMPLE TRUTH, SAVING FAITH, WISH YOU WELL, LAST MAN STANDING, THE
CHRISTMAS TRAIN and SPLIT SECOND. He lives in Virginia with his wife and
two children.
