Reviews
"Many of Lehrer's 19 previous novels showcased his abiding love for simpler times: mid-twentieth-century America, the small-town Midwest, and the intercity bus lines of that time and region. This time out, he focuses his attention on the Super Chief, the luxurious Sante Fe Railroad train that carried the rich and famous from Chicago to Los Angeles in just over 39 hours. Set in 1956, the tale involves three mysterious deaths, former president Harry Truman, actor Clark Gable, a movie producer whose last picture flopped, and a callow, movie-loving Sante Fe passenger agent. It's Lehrer in typically fine form: wonderful detail about railroad operations and life on the Super; small prairie towns that owed their existence to the Sante Fe; Hollywood's worries about television; rail's apparent lack of worry about airlines; gossip about Gable's prodigious womanizing; and concerns about radiation from nuclear tests in Nevada. Remarkably, however, the book's central events are true, as Lehrer testifies in an epilogue. Lehrer is a national treasure, and Super is, well . . . super." - Booklist From the Hardcover edition., "Many of Lehrer's 19 previous novels showcased his abiding love for simpler times: mid-twentieth-century America, the small-town Midwest, and the intercity bus lines of that time and region.

Synopsis
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. In its heyday, the Santa Fe railroad's famous Super Chief was so replete with wealth and celebrity that it became known as "The Train of the Stars." And so we find it in April of 1956, embarking from the Windy City for its trip across the Plains to the West Coast. Climbing aboard is an amazing spectrum of passengers. There's Darwin Rinehart, a once great Hollywood producer whose most recent movie was a total flop and who now faces bankruptcy and shame. In a dark recess of a train car hides a mysterious, disheveled, sickly man who has not paid for a ticket, smuggled inside by an unscrupulous porter. Millionaire Otto Wheeler arrives in a wheelchair; deathly ill, he knows that this will be his last trip on the great train. Clark Gable causes a stir when he steps aboard, and though he's ridden these rails for years, indulging in booze and women with equal fervor, those around him sense that this time, something is different. And finally there's former President Harry Truman, distinguished, congenial, and constantly accompanied, for his protection, by a railroad detective. As the Super Chief pulls out of Dearborn Station, the passengers--famous and infamous, anonymous and enigmatic--can't possibly imagine what lies ahead. For as the train gains speed, a series of deadly events unfolds. Full of remarkable detail and passion for a lost world of opulence and all its intrigue and delights, Jim Lehrer's Super spins a complex web of suspense. The twists and turns will keep readers turning the pages at top speed to finish one of the most captivating stories of Lehrer's prolific career.

However the seller very quickly righted everything, communicating with me the entire time. The other two items were in perfect condition, arrived on time, and were exactly as described. They were very quick to fix what was wrong, and were very polite about the entire thing. I will be buying from them again in the future.The Liar - hardcover, Nora Roberts, 0399170863 (Nr. 284903186562)

The books were packed well, shipped quickly and just as described. But this was not the book I ordered. I sent two photos of the book received and the ISBN code and I received a prompt refund. I bought two books the third book was free! I am still delighted being an Orion Tech Books customer and will be shopping at Orion Tech Books in the future. Thank you.
