Pam’s Pick this week is: “The Survivor” by Andrew Reid, this is the story about a hijacked New York subway train, an anonymous killer, and a young man trapped by his hidden past. Ben Cross thought his day couldn’t get worse. But when he gets on the train. Ben starts receiving text messages from the killer, showing that they’ve already killed someone, then pointedly killing another as they got off the train to prove they aren’t bluffing and to ensure Ben follows orders. But Ben wasn’t picked at random, he has a history that no one is supposed to know. The secret to the killer lies in Ben’s own history and that is why he’s been targeted.
