Terror On The Subway

The suspenseful work Acceleration by Graham McNamee provides readers with the opportunity to probe the twisted mind of a murderer. 17-year-old Duncan has an unusual summer job: he works in the Toronto Transit Authority's Lost and Found, a hot and stifling underground lair where there are often long periods of boredom. One day, as Duncan aimlessly sorts through piles of accumulated lost possessions, he finds a book which turns out to be the diary of a serial killer. The journal is filled with this unknown person's early demented acts, such as the torture of animals, and eventually details his hunt on the subway for potential victims. Duncan, who falsely blames himself for a drowning death the year before, decides to find the murderer before it is too late.
