About this eBook

It’s a hot, hot summer, and in the depths of the Toronto Transit Authority’s Lost and Found, 17-year-old Duncan is cataloging lost things and sifting through accumulated junk. And between Jacob, the cranky old man who runs the place, and the endless dusty boxes overflowing with stuff no one will ever claim, Duncan’s just about had enough. Then he finds a little leather book. It’s a diary filled with the dark and dirty secrets of a twisted mind, a serial killer stalking his prey in the subway. And Duncan can’t make himself stop reading.

What would you do with a book like that? How far would you go to catch a madman?

And what if time was running out. . . .

Ratings and reviews

Very good YA read. Quick and suspenseful with just the right amount of teen angst and turmoil. The plot flows nicely and is not overwrought or simplistic. Characters, mostly, are a bit flat, but likeable nonetheless. Excellent use of language - fun and familiar without an overabundance of needless profanity. I am not the fastest reader, but this one ended way too soon and I was left wanting more.

honestly i hate reading cannot stand it. but this book was so amazing i didn't wanna stop reading it. when ever i put the book down, i just wanted to pick it right back up and keep reading. this is absolutely my favorite book. <3 and then ending was perfect well honestly the whole book was great.

Had fun with the characters although they are a bit stereotypical. I hated the Climax and Ending. I totally would not guess who the killer is before you read this or you will be deeply disappointed like me.
