About the book

'A cracking good thriller.'

Independent on Sunday

'Unerringly sharp and pioneeringly original, it locks the reader in from start to finish.' Andrew Barrow,

Spectator Winter, 1906. It's Jim Stringer's first day as an official railway detective, but he's not a happy man.

As the rain falls incessantly on the city's ancient streets, the local paper carries a story highly unusual by York standards: two brothers have been shot to death.

Soon Jim enters the orbit of a dangerous, disturbed villain – and discovers that the two murders are barely the start of his plans . . .

'The atmosphere of neglected streets… dingy saloon bars, suppers of boiled bacon and pickles, and dismal, unceasing rain are splendidly evoked … if you're fond of a stroll through Edwardian working-class life and the innards of steam engines, these might seem to be transports of delight.'

Telegraph Praise for the Jim Stringer series:

'Breathe in the heady mixture of smoke, oil and steam – and the odd spot of real ale – and feel the crunch of cinders beneath your feet… you're in historic railway territory again.'

Manchester Evening News

'Finely honed crime novels with plotting as precise as a Swiss watch.'

Daily Express

'This series is, er, really building up a head of steam.'

Observer Readers love Jim Stringer, railway detective:

'It's hard to envisage anyone not warming to Jim Stringer.'

Independent

'An unlikely sleuth – ingenuous, naive and a little anxious – but an endearing narrator, a solid bloke who'd be good company over a pint of stout down the pub.'

Telegraph

'The best sleuth that 200 years of the railways have ever produced.'

Independent on Sunday
