The Rileys team up with others to take down The Hierarchy.

What aren't they being told? The deeper down the rabbit hole they go, the more disturbing it gets.

A plan begins to take shape, will they succeed or will they fail?

The Train is available on Amazon and is £10.99.

It is the first part of a trilogy, with Amy currently working on books two and three.

She has a Facebook page, The Train, by Amy Ripley.
