When railroad cop Mike Kernehan stumbles upon a trespasser in a Los Angeles railyard one night, he has no idea where the case will take him. It seems the lonely middle-aged man has a penchant for following women, which is what has drawn him there. But what was a woman doing in the railyard all alone? Meanwhile, Mike's also investigating a series of stolen and missing shipments. Thousands of dollars in goods have been taken from trains coming into LA, but no one can figure out where or how the thieves are striking. With veteran detective John Farrel, Mike heads to the barren outskirts of the city looking for motives and means, only to realize that—like the stalker—they, too, should have kept their eyes on the woman who liked to watch trains . . .

From award-winning author Adrian Duncan comes his first collection of astonishing short stories. These modern stories have been written over the past decade, half having been previously published in The Moth, The Stinging Fly, Dublin Review and elsewhere, half completely new. Patterning and happenstance make up the rich quotidian lives of the characters portrayed in these strange, energetic tales.

The prose is spare, precise and imagistic, the humour dark and absurdist, shot through with an underlying humanity that has become the trademark of this remarkable writer.Taking inspiration from his childhood fascination with football team formations, Duncan arranges this collection with an eye to how each piece interacts with...
