{"product_id":"two-trains-running-9781400079384","title":"Two Trains Running","description":"In his most original and compelling book yet, Andrew Vachss presents an electrifying tale of corruption in a devastated mill town. It is 1959--a moment in history when the clandestine, powerful forces that will shape America to the present day are about to collide.Walker Dett is a hired gun, known for using the most extreme measures to accomplish his missions. Royal Beaumont is the \"hillbilly boss\" who turned Locke City from a dying town into a thriving vice capital. But organized crime outsiders are moving in on Beaumont's turf, so he reaches out for Dett in a high-risk move to maintain his power at all costs. Add a rival Irish political machine, a deeply entrenched neo-Nazi \"party\", the nascent black power movement, turf-disputing juvenile gangs, a muck-raking journalist who doubles as a blackmailer, the FBI--a covert observer and occasional participant which may itself be under surveillance-- and Locke City is about as stable as a nitroglycerin truck stalled on the railroad tracks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Crime\/Black Lizard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400079384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 5.24w x 1.02d","brand":"Andrew Vachss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42935566663861,"sku":"9781400079384","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9aada293-fec5-4d67-a918-cdc21a519ad8.jpg?v=1688489559","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/two-trains-running-9781400079384","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
