About “Three Stations”

In this 2010 novel by Martin Cruz Smith, a passenger train crosses the night as a young mother heads to Moscow seeking a new life while a hardened soldier watches her, thinking of sex. When the train arrives, a baby has vanished without a trace, and investigator Arkady Renko must resolve the enigma of the young woman's death, whose body is found in a construction trailer near Moscow's main rail hub.
