Railroaded

Ten-year-old Magda Fernandez is snatched out of her home in urban New Jersey in the dead of night and held for ransom.Who is responsible for this heinous act? Her chubby, acne-faced babysitter and her sleazy boyfriend? Her boozy, adulterous father's slutty girlfriend? An honest, hardworking railroad maintenance man and his scheming coworker?A crime that baffled two rookie FBI agents and local police and is impossibly being investigated by a womanizing teacher in pursuit of the mother's affection.Where will this sordid tale take us?That's right-down the wrong track.
