About this listen

For small-town, Iowa lawyer, Sam McCain, the year 1965 is not a sweet one. His father is gravely ill. His elitist boss is just coming out of rehab. And, the brilliant lawyer he hoped to start a relationship with has gone back to her husband.

Still, McCain tries to enjoy himself during the town's Labor Day weekend party, reuniting with several old friends - until two of them are murdered for what seems to be a motive buried in the past...

Editorial Reviews

The eighth book in the Sam McCain mystery series, Ticket to Ride is a slice of small-town American pie served up with something more cynical and real than ice cream. John McClain’s wry voice and emotional characterization of dialogue lends Ed Gorman’s achievement of a novel a charm and emotional pitch that draws the listener right in. The larger political story of the 1960s is the backdrop to this story of a small-town lawyer asked to defend a would-be murderer that he doesn’t particularly like. The story never succumbs to stereotype and McClain’s voice bolsters the literary merit of this intelligent mystery.
