If you have a supernatural problem that won't go away, you need Buck Carlsbad: private eye, exorcist, and last resort.
Buck's got a way with spirits that no one else can match. He was normal, once. Until Something Horrible killed his parents and left him for dead.
Buck has spent years using his gift to trace his family. It's his only hope of finding out what happened to them-and what made him the way he is.
Now the voices say that something big is coming. Buck already knows what it is-a super high-tech bullet train running express across a stretch of unforgiving desert known for the most deadly paranormal events in history. A place where Buck almost died a few years ago, and where he swore he would never return.
But as the train prepares to rumble down the tracks, Buck knows it can only be the inevitable hand of fate pulling him back to the most harrowing unfinished case of his career at four hundred miles per hour.

"WoW! I haven't read a book since college and was happy this was the 1st book I read to get me back into this hobby. I was blown away with all the detail and the excellent story. I highly recommend this book for older audiences. "

“[A] clever supernatural thriller…Fun and exciting. A definite winner and—judging by the conclusion—perhaps the first of many Buck Carlsbad adventures.”

— Eric, 2/5/2014" Took me a little bit to get into this one (about 100 pages), but in glad I stuck with it. Fun, action filled story w/ an interesting lead character & it has a noir-edge to it. "
— Scott, 12/24/2013" The first third of this book was awesome and then it just started to peter out. I had to give up because I just didn't care any more. "
— Elsa, 11/10/2013" I loved this book. I recommend this to anyone who likes a good exciting read! "
— Tanya, 11/7/2013" This was a tough book for me. I almost quit reading it several times. I liked the twist on how the main character Buck Carlsbad gets rid of spirits. The idea of the Black Light was cool too. I just kept hoping for more though. "
— Joe, 6/14/2013" I thought this was a good read,there was a few places in it that I have to say was not so easy to keep my attention and I was ready to hurry up and get past it,but for the most part it was a good book. "

— Jennifer, 10/11/2012" Very original paranormal thriller. To me, there were hints of Ghostbusters of all things (minus the camp), but I mean that in a good way. "
— Dale, 8/13/2012" A fun, wild ride about a sort of rogue exorcist on a train of ghostly terror. A perfect Halloween book. "
