A hot summer in Canada finds seventeen-year-old Duncan working in a boring job in the Lost and Found Toronto Transit Authority, deep below a subway line. Time really drags for him until he starts flipping through one of the lost items -- a leather journal with scary, startling descriptions: first of animal torture and abuse; then, arson of buildings; and finally the detailed plans of a serial killer stalking his prey. When the police aren’t interested in following up on trying to locate the killer, Duncan enlists the help of his two friends, Vinnie and Wayne in the manhunt.
Interwoven throughout this novel is the pain and grief felt by Duncan in not being able to save a drowning girl at the lake the previous year. The title, “Acceleration” refers the to the suspense speeding along in this novel and time running out to catch a killer.
