    About this ebook

    On the night following the deadly Kendal rail disaster in which two hundred persons lost their lives, cab-driver, Kenneth Salmon is running the road. Passengers, however, are scarce. Therefore, Kenneth's earning up to this point is meager.
    He is desperately in need of a few fares to increase the night's earning. Will desperation causes him to pick up the wrong passenger?

      I heard this story is true. Kenneth's son, Rohan, told it to me a few years ago. I do not know how many people will believe it. I do not.

      It happened over five decades ago in Kingston, Jamaica. It started with the deadly Kendal crash, so we will start our story there as well.

      Kendal crash, to date, is the worst rail disaster in Jamaica's history, and was the second worst in the world
