TKC Communications Announces a New Book Exposing Crime Along the Nation's Rails.

DAVIS, Calif. -- Murder on the Rails is the next nonfiction bestseller, a breathtaking account of the bloody career, and apprehension of the infamous Boxcar Serial Killer, whose 14-year murder spree took more than 100 lives.

Robert Joseph Silveria, Jr., and his violent rail gang penned - The Death Squad, operated in 38 States until he was caught in Roseville, California and convicted in Oregon. The book, co-written by Lt. William G. Palmini, Jr. and Tanya Chalupa, recently released by New Horizon Press, examines the serial killer against the background of an underground sub-culture, the Freight Train Riders of America, FTRA. Hard core factions of the shadowy group are suspected of committing homicides across the country and causing Amtrak derailments.

Palmini was drawn to the case of the Boxcar Serial Killer by a murder of a down-on-his-luck Viet Nam Vet in Albany, California, where he was in charge of investigations. At the time, Palmini was also a spokesperson for a nationally acclaimed teen driver program using the persona of Elvis to reach audiences. In the past 11-years, he conducted over 600 school and community presentations and was featured in 15 states and Canada. During his first interview with Silveria, the killer asked Palmini, "Are you that Elvis Cop?" Afterwards, the killer "sang" for the detective. Silveria's confessions revealed gory details of mayhem and the existence of a train-hopping gang cops were unaware existed.
