Annotation:
In Jim Lehrer's 20th novel, a wide cast of characters comes together on Sante Fe's famous "Super Chief" train in the year 1956. They include dashing Clark Gable, who is terrified of flying despite his love of the high-life; ex-President Truman; a burnt-out Hollywood producer; a passenger smuggled aboard with a desire to confront the former president; and a train station agent who is forced into the role of homicide detective once the bodies begin piling up. A broad novel seeped in nostalgia for a simple time, Lehrer alternates between serious engagement with history and a playful, self-referential dip into genre high jinks.
