Bell quickly discovers that the Wrecker recruits accomplices from among the down-and-outs to attack the railroad, killing them afterwards. Who is he and what does he want? Is he a striker? A criminal mastermind engineering some as-yet-unexplained scheme? Whoever he is, whatever his motives, the Wrecker knows how to create maximum havoc. Bell senses that he is far from done – indeed, it would seem that the Wrecker is building up to a grand act unlike anything committed before
