Plot

A bit of a complicated plot details below courtesy Wikipedia

It starts as a normal day on a subway, but the normality is interrupted by the hijacking of a subway train (on the number 6 line). Four men (Ryder, the leader and former mercenary; Longman, a disgruntled former motorman; Welcome, a violent former mafia thug; and Steever, a powerful, laconic brute) armed with submachine guns detach the lead car of the train and take it and 18 hostages into a tunnel, threatening to execute the hostages unless the city pays a million-dollar ransom. While the city rushes to comply, transit police try to puzzle out the hijackers’ plan. They don’t realize that Longman has figured out how to bypass the “dead-man’s switch”, allowing the car to speed along the track by itself (with the police chasing it while driving on surface streets) while the hijackers escape through an emergency exit.

As they prepare to leave, however, Ryder and Welcome begin to argue, ending with Ryder fatally shooting Welcome. The delay allows one of the passengers, an undercover police officer who jumped off the train as it started to speed away, to shoot Steever. Longman escapes while Ryder shoots the passenger. As Ryder is about to administer a fatal head shot, he is himself killed by one of the police officers stationed in the tunnel. The novel ends with Longman’s arrest.
