Seventeen-year-old Duncan works in the Toronto Transit Lost and Found. One day, he discovers the leather bound journal of a man with a twisted mind. The journal depicts past crimes the madman has committed, such as arson, and his future plans, which include killing women.

Duncan decides to recruit his friends, Vinny and Wayne, to track down the serial killer who they nickname Roach. Just how far will Roach go, and what will Duncan, Vinny and Wayne do to prevent it?

The beginning of ACCELERATION is slow and tedious. However, once you have reached the action, you won't be able to put the book down. The great detail allows the reader to sympathize with Duncan and his situation.

Although author Graham McNamee at times takes us to places we do not need to go and adds some unnecessary aspects to the plot, ACCELERATION is still a must-read.
