About The Insane Train
The
Baldwin Insane Asylum in Barstow,
California, has recently burned to the gound in an inferno that cost
many inmates their lives and injured scores. Now, Hook Runyon has been
put in charge of security for a train that is to transport the
survivors, alongside the head of the asylum, Dr. Baldwin, the attending
doctor, taciturn Dr. Helms, and a self-sacrificing nurse named Andrea,
to a new location in Oklahoma.
Hook hires a motley crew of WW II veterans to help, and they set out
for the new destination. But things go awry on the Insane Train, as
several inmates and attendants are found dead, and Dr.Baldwin seems
increasingly disoriented and incapable of running operations.
With Andrea's help, Hook begins investigating the suspicious deaths,
and uncovers a trail of revenge that has been a long time in the
planning ... by a person as mentally disturbed as her charges.
