Product Description If a train leaves Boston, does it ever reach its final destination, or is it bound to roll onward to hell for eternity? Jonas Dumar is about to find out. Not trusting his lawyer to get him acquitted of the murder charge he faces, Jonas decides to run, taking his dog to flee the country on an old fishing boat under an assumed identity. But Jonas Dumar has problems, and a murder accusation is simply one of the many troubles that plague him. For one: Jonas can't stand being all alone. And two: Jonas has secrets. If a train leaves Boston, does it ever stop screaming? Making a quick stop in Newfoundland on his voyage across the Atlantic to seek out asylum with an old college chum in Scotland, Jonas takes on board two hitchhikers, Gabe and Izzy, who are trying to work their way back to Spain. Only when they get out into the open sea, does Jonas begin to suspect his passengers are not what they appear to be. After a failed plan to abandon them in Greenland, Jonas awakes one morning with the lingering memories of a nightmare, finding himself sailing all alone. Gabe and Izzy have vanished, leaving behind a subtle, haunting trace of their existence, as Jonas finds himself reunited with a long lost childhood friend. A friend he'd hoped never to see again. Then Gabe and Izzy return. Now all Jonas wants is to escape before he completely unravels, coming to realize a man really can learn more about himself than he ever wants to know.
