About the book

'A brilliant murder mystery set in Edwardian London about a railway line that runs only to a massive cemetery.' Daily Mirror 'An ingenious and atmospheric thriller.'

Express

When railwayman Jim Stringer moves to the garish and tawdry London of 1903, he finds his duties are confined to a mysterious graveyard line. The men he works alongside have formed an instant loathing for him – and his predecessor has disappeared under suspicious circumstances. Can Jim work out what is going on before he too is travelling on a one-way coffin ticket aboard the Necropolis Railway? 'A murderous conspiracy of a plot graced with style, wit and the sharp, true taste of a time gone by.' Independent on Sunday 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
