It's Always One Thing Or Another

“Becker adds a new female detective to America’s mystery landscape … or should we say to America’s rails? A good ride!”
- Hayes Brandwell, The Polemicist Post

A retired NYC Police Detective on her post-retirement train trip from New York to San Francisco with nothing to do for days .... until she is suddenly is thrust into suspicion, violence, and international intrigue. Add in shady characters (or are they?), natural instincts, and attention to the smallest details, and you have the next chapter in Lee Comstock's life. The chase (but who is chasing whom?) involves an AMTRAK long distance train, the communities of San Francisco, Berkeley, and Oakland, and people posing as other than they seem -- with the telltales just the simplest of gestures. Remember, it's always the little things that give you away.

Randy Becker is a retired Unitarian Universalist Minister who now calls himself a spiritual activist and troublemaker. But before all that he was a railroad engineer and a research physicist. He divides his time between Key West, Conch Republic, Litchfield Township, NY, and as much traveling as he can afford (usually by rail). Maybe the next time you are traveling by train he will be watching your every move and you could end up in one of his mysteries.
