All aboard. It's a countdown to murder... This Train races us
through America's heartland, carrying secrets. There is treasure in
the cargo car, along with an invisible puppeteer. There is a coder
named Nora, Mugzy, the yippy dog, and Ross, the too-curious poet.
On This Train there is a silver madman, a targeted banker, and
crises of conscience. This Train harbours the 'perfect' couple's
conspiracies, the chaos of being a teenager, and parenthood
alongside the wows of being nine. There is a widow and a wannabe,
and the sleaziest billionaire. On This Train, there is the suicide
ticket, the bomb, sex, love, and loneliness. The heist. Revenge.
Redemption. This Train is a ticking clock, roaring through
forty-seven fictional hours of non-stop suspense and action.
An action-filled coming of age novel about love, vengeance,
corruption, and justice by the acclaimed author of Six Days of the
Condor. "Grady's style is loose, colorful, challenging and fun. I
sometimes thought of Orwell’s novel 1984, sometimes of the Dylan
song 'Desolation Row.'"—Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post
"Grady is a master of intrigue."—John Grisham Set in 1959, the
"year the music died," The Smoke in Our Eyes is a cinematic,
clock-ticking saga set in a small Montana town. When a fatal car
accident shatters ten-year-old Lucas's world, he finds himself
confronting crime and vengeance, humor and heroism, all against the
backdrop of growing up. Alongside the tightly written drama of
Lucas and his family, Grady, author of the classic "Condor" series,
evokes a heady mood and sense of place. From the Space Race and the
first warnings of global climate change, to the brutal racism of
segregation and the hope of a new generation to move us forward,
The Smoke in Our Eyes is a fresh rending of rural noir that
captures both an intimate story and the volitility of mid-century
America.

The classic spy thriller about corruption in the CIA that inspired
the hit film and TV show: "A master of intrigue" (John Grisham).
Sandwiches are a part of Ronald Malcolm's every day, but one just
saved his life. On the day that gunmen pay a visit to the American
Literary Historical Society, he's out at lunch. The society is
actually a backwater of the Central Intelligence Agency, where
Malcolm and a few other bookworms comb mystery novels for clues
that might unlock real life diplomatic questions. One of his
colleagues has learned something he wasn't meant to know. A
sinister conspiracy has penetrated the CIA, and the gunmen are its
representatives. They massacre the office, and only learn later of
Malcolm--a loose end that needs to be dealt with. Malcolm--codename
Condor--calls his handlers at the agency, hoping for a safe haven,
instead drawing another attempt on his life. With no one left to
trust he goes on the run. But like it or not, Malcolm is the only
person who can root out the corruption at the highest levels of the
CIA. This "chilling novel of top security gone berserk" earned
James Grady his reputation as a Grand Master of the spy thriller,
inspiring legions of imitators as well as the classic Sydney
Pollack film Three Days of the Condor and the new TV series Condor
featuring Max Irons, Mira Sorvino, and Brendan Fraser (Library
Journal).
