The Last Train To Jordan Road

This was no ordinary gangland killing down on the underground, and such was its ferocity a shocked nation’s asking, “why”? But there’s no mystery about who committed the crime. “Boxer” Dobson is the new leader of the notorious Dobson gang. He’s holed up in jail, but he’s catatonic and refuses to speak and the only other witness, his impressionable accomplice, Tommo, has been so terrified by his treatment by the police that he’s turned dumb too. So, with the police investigation on hold, a media panic building and politicians pressing, Daniel Page, a leading criminal psychologist is brought in to open up Tommo’s mind, to find a way in; to get the case moving again. But Daniel has his own problems. His life’s in a mess; a mystery illness that no one can diagnose, a marriage in tatters, self confidence in free fall. He’s taken on this case to reverse all that, to believe in himself again, to halt his breakdown. His investigation begins and through his interviews with Tommo, he pieces together what happened in the tunnels. But the more he finds the less he knows. Something is missing, some fact that makes sense of it all; why so vicious, why so intense; what’s driven it all like this?
