Publisher's synopsis: Grand Central station, New York. 1:23pm. What starts as a normal day on the New York City subway becomes a race against time when a commuter train is hijacked. It is packed with passengers and the ransom is one million dollars. The NYPD frantically pursue the train on the city streets, but the question remains: the subway is a closed system – surely there is no way out ... But the four hijackers, led by a mercenary named Ryder, have thought about this. And once they receive their ransom money, they plan to send the train off at top speed toward the terminal station where it will crash, killing all the passengers ... The film of the book was orginally made in 1974 and starred Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw, Jerry Stiller and Martin Balsam. The 2009 version of the film stars Denzel Washington, John Travolta, James Gandolfini, Ramon Rodriquez and Victor Gojcaj. Category: Fiction Thriller
