From the Back Cover
“A compelling thriller . . . A stunning achievement.” –Daily Mail (London)
“A clear winner in literary crime writing.” –Daily Express (London)
From the author of The Necropolis Railway comes another atmospheric thriller of sabotage, suspicion, and steam. Assigned to drive vacationers to the seaside resort of Blackpool in the hot summer of 1905, Jim Stringer is happy to leave behind the grime and danger of London life. But his dreams of beer and sun are dashed when someone attempts to derail his high-speed train. Soon Jim and his brilliant wife are after the saboteur, learning all too late that a dark secret waits for them at the end of the line.
