David Baldacci has given us such edge-of-the-seat thrillers as Absolute Power and Last Man Standing, as well as Wish You Well, a critically acclaimed story of hope and Family. Now Baldacci once again showcases his remarkable versatility as he brings us a uniquely entertaining holiday tale.

Disillusioned journalist Tom Langdon must get from Washington to L. A. in time For Christmas. Forced to take the train across the country because of a slight "misunderstanding" at airport security, he begins a journey of self-discovers' and rude awakenings, mysterious goings-on and thrilling adventures, screwball escapades and holiday magic.

He has no idea that the locomotives pulling him across America will actually take him into the rugged terrain of his own heart, as he rediscovers people's essential goodness and someone very special he believed he had lost.

Equal parts hilarious, poignant, suspenseful, and thrilling. David Baldacci's The Christmas Train is a delightful journey filled with memorable characters who have packed their bags with as much wisdom as mischief... and a story that shows how we do get second chances to fulfill our deepest hopes and dreams, especially during this season of miracles.
