'In My Time I Have Come In On The Aftermath Of Maybe A Thousand Suspicious Deaths, Most Of Which Turned Out To Be Suicides, Accidentals Or Plain Unattendeds. So I'Ve Seen Them All: Jumpers, Stumpers, Dumpers, Dunkers, Bleeders, Floaters, Poppers, Bursters. But Of All The Bodies I Have Ever Seen None Has Stayed With Me, In My Gut, Like The Body Of Jennifer Rockwell.'I Say All This Because I Am Part Of The Story I Am Going To Tell, And I Feel The Need To Give You Some Idea Of Where I'M Coming From.'Night Train Is A Mystery Story Which Lingers In The Reader'S Mind Even After Mike Hoolihan Declares The Case Closed.
