In the tradition of Murder on the Orient Express, Jim Lehrer brings together a cast of characters as fascinating as the historic train that will carry them from Chicago to Los Angeles. Among them are a once-great Hollywood producer, a dying millionaire, actor Clark Gable, and former president Harry Truman. As the Super Chief pulls out of Dearborn Station, the passengers can"t possibly imagine that, as the train gains speed, a series of deadly events will unfold.
