"The Gone Dead Train is a spellbinding trek through Memphis, drenched in blues, blood, and black magic."--Barry Lancet, author of Japantown and Tokyo Kill

Bestselling sensation Lisa Turner conjures a riveting Southern mystery set in Memphis, with echoes of Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil and Lisa Gardner, in which detective Billy Able is thrown into a vortex of bizarre murders, Santeriá curses, flawed heroes, a damning photograph, and a stunning betrayal by a civil rights icon.

Recovering from the aftermath of a case that left his partner dead, Billy is back in Memphis and drawn into an ever-widening murder mystery that focuses on a disgraced major league baseball player, two legendary blues musicians on the lam, a straight-arrow cop tortured by her guilty conscience, and two iconic civil rights warriors with secrets so dark they'll shock the nation.
Detective Billy Able is at a crossroads. His previous case left him questioning everything he believes about his abilities as a cop and a friend, yet he's unable to turn off instincts he's honed after a decade on the force.
After he stops a crime from being committed, he finds himself embroiled in an even bigger scandal--a murder connected to a series of crimes dating back to the civil rights movement. Billy investigates and uncovers secrets so layered he can barely keep the truth from the lies. And Frankie Malone, the female cop on the case, is hiding something big, but is it connected to the investigation? With the help of a Santerián priest, Billy's search for the truth leads him deep into the underbelly of Memphis' past. But will he make it out alive?
