The Taking of Pelham One Two Three

More about the book

The plot is simple. Four men hijack a tube train and demand a million dollar ransom. It is a thrill a minute trip, beautifully capturing the feel of all the people involved and the city itself. I recommend it to the last line - DAILY MIRROR An ingenious idea for a novel - all those characters, all those motives, all that nail-biting. A really exciting, tough thriller - EVENING STANDARD Impressive tour de force, well written and planned - THE OBSERVER
