Bestselling Author Sean O'Neill Publishes "Freighted"

St. Paul, MN, May 06, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Amazon bestselling author, Sean O’Neill, has just released his sixth novel, Freighted, the third in his Twin Cities Series, and it is now available to buy on Amazon for the knockdown price of $2.99. The novel is a comedy of errors reminiscent of Elmore Leonard’s riveting crime offerings and it charts the attempt of a gang of criminals to pull off several train heists. Anderson, the "inside man" is a railroad dispatcher charged with responsibility for stopping several freight trains at the appropriate point in the railroad system around St. Paul, MN. But he gets cold feet and attempts to extricate himself from the dishonest scheme. Norstream, the construction tycoon who has masterminded the robberies, doesn’t like Anderson’s idea of "showing initiative" and threatens to chop him up into tiny pieces and mail what remains of him to his family if he doesn’t knuckle under and do what he’s agreed to. Instead, Anderson and his friend Brent stupidly decide to kidnap Norstream’s son Randall. And that’s when the fun begins. Randall turns out to be a pain in the neck and in fact he makes life unbearably miserable for the kidnappers. Tension on all sides mounts like a pressure keg, with each player struggling for leverage over the others. Things can only end with disaster for everybody. Or can they?

This novel is another classic of the crime genre and, in the end, shows that occasionally it’s the unexpected underdog who comes out on top.
