An Edgar Award finalist for Best Fact Crime, this “impressive…open-eyed investigative inquiry wrapped within a cultural history of rural America” (The Wall Street Journal) shows legendary statistician and baseball writer Bill James applying his analytical acumen to crack an unsolved century-old mystery surrounding one of the deadliest serial killers in American history. Between 1898 and 1912, families across the country were bludgeoned in their sleep with the blunt side of an axe. Some of these cases—like the infamous Villisca, Iowa, murders—received national attention. But most incidents went almost unnoticed outside the communities in which they occurred. Few people believed the crimes were related. And fewer still would realize that all of these families lived within walking distance to a train station. When celebrated true crime expert Bill James first learned about these horrors, he began to investigate others that might fit the same pattern. Applying the same know-how he brings to his legendary baseball analysis, he empirically determined which crimes were committed by the same person. Then after sifting through thousands of local newspapers, court transcripts, and public records, he and his daughter Rachel made an astonishing discovery: they learned the true identity of this monstrous criminal and uncovered one of the deadliest serial killers in America. “A suspenseful historical account” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), The Man from the Train paints a vivid, psychologically perceptive portrait of America at the dawn of the twentieth century, when crime was regarded as a local problem, and opportunistic private detectives exploited a dysfunctional judicial system. James shows how these cultural factors enabled such an unspeakable series of crimes to occur, and his groundbreaking approach to true crime will convince skeptics, amaze aficionados, and change the way we view criminal history. “A beautifully written and extraordinarily researched narrative…This is no pure whodunit, but rather a how-many-did-he-do” (Buffalo News).

By the 1880s, Texas was like a snake shedding an old skin and growing a new one. Struggling to become a modern society, Texas had outgrown its Wild West heritage and now wished to forget the years of war, occupation, poverty, and lawlessness. Leaving Austin by train in March 1884, a group of friends find themselves unexpectedly caught up with others in both lethal conflict and the enchantment of the "Queen City of Texas," San Antonio. Events surrounding one of the most astounding killings of the decade form the action for a tale of blood feud, revenge, civic rivalry, and running gunfights through the plazas and streets. Together with darker events, however, San Antonio provides fertile ground for romance. Carriage rides through exotic streets, dinner at fabulous restaurants, shopping excursions at the San Antonio market, luxury hotels, the San Antonio River, and haunting buildings from the Spanish Colonial past create a spell-binding environment that encourages amorous relationships while forcing profound self-examinations.
