I have read a number of Michael Harvey's books and found all of them to be excellent.

Here are some comments from professional reviewers/authors:

"Michael Harvey should be read by all" ---John Grisham

" Jolting...fast-paced, grimly realistic action" ---The New York Times Book Review

"A knockout thriller..Crisp, tough, ironic" ---Washington Post Book World

Here is a synopsis of this book taken from the back page of the book.

The City of Chicago is under siege, and Michael Kelly, former cop turned private investigator, happens to be on the scene when all hell breaks loose. Kelly's brassy investigating and razor-sharp instincts lead him into an intricate plot involving a retired cop, a shady transit company, and a quietly ticking weapon nestled deep in the city's underbelly. But when his girlfriend ---the gorgeous judge Rachel Swenson--is abducted, Kelly realizes that the only way he's going to find the killer is to excavate his own stormy past.

This book will be left at the ship's library (passenger book exchange).

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope you do likewise if you are fortunate enough to come across "The Third Rail".

Good reading to you!!!
