In The Night Train he was Farley. The hobo. Now he has a new name. A new home. A new life. But how long can it last? Frank Mayo is a fry cook in a greasy Atlanta diner. He's homeless because people are looking for him. The runaway he befriended in his old life had gone home and made a splash. It wasn't smart to ride the trains anymore. The diner feels safe. People in low places don't ask questions. Then a stranger shows up with a message. The boy's in trouble again. Big trouble. The kind of trouble only a man with Frank's skills can handle. But something doesn't feel right. The stranger reminds him of someone. If you liked The Night Train you'll love Red Eyes because it answers all the questions you've been asking about Farley.

What could make a boy run away? … from everything he knows. From his mother. His home. And all those things he doesn't yet understand. Every evening Jayrod sits on his back porch and listens to the train rumble through the woods beyond the field. Beyond the boundary set by his father. It sounds like freedom. Like adventure. He's too young to know the dangers that lurk aboard freight trains. In the boxcars and on the flats. The bad men. It's no place for a boy. The man calls himself Farley. He's an odd man. Mysterious. Deadly. Is he protecting the boy or using him? And will Jayrod figure it out in time to find his way home again? The Night Train pulls back the curtain to expose a silent epidemic as old as time itself. There is no cure … only awareness. You'll love Jayrod because he's a fighter, even when he doesn't know there's a war. His innocent determination will make you cry. Laugh. And cheer. Meet him now.

It used to be the dust and noise. The workers coming and going like ants to a picnic. Now it's personal. Everyone calls him Pap for reasons he can't remember. The people who matter are all gone now. His only neighbor is the factory. The beast that manufactures furniture and dust. So much dust. Dust that covered his wife as she lay dying and everything since. It covers his house inside and out, and his front porch swing. The grass and trees for as far as the eye can see. It even covers Rosemary. He talks to Rosemary. People say he's eccentric. Or outright crazy. He hasn't broken the law that anyone can prove, but he's bruised it and left it with whelps. That's about to change though. The stakes are about to be raised. The powerful Davis Khane is tired of flat tires on his trucks and nails in his parking lot. He's tired of the broken machines. He's tired of the man everyone calls Pap and he means to set him straight. Instead he sets him off. You'll love Norton Road because everyone loves an underdog. Especially one who's a little off his nut. Get it now.
