Description

A mystery thriller novel set in early 20th-century London where an unexpected death on a train sets the stage for a complex investigation.
Our protagonist, Langdon, a young barrister specialising in criminal law, boards the last east-bound train out of town. He finds himself in the company of two vastly different men and, after a shocking death, is thrust into the heart of a lethal game of cat and mouse.

The Incident on the Train

One man, a Weathered military-looking individual, suddenly succumbs to a fatal seizure. The other, a sallow-faced stranger, makes a hasty escape. Our barrister protagonist is the only witness, and hence, becomes deeply entrenched in a mystery of identity and murder amidst the iconic backdrop of 20th-century London.

The Investigation

As Langdon deepens his inquisition, he unravels a tangled web of deceit, including a potentially lethal chemical formula and a series of betrayals. His pursuit not only leads him to denizens of the London underworld but also to the surprising involvement of the deceased's own granddaughter, Rhona.

The Reveal

Escalating to a dramatic climax at the Waterloo Station, the investigation reveals more than what Langdon had initially bargained for. The discovery of a stolen chemical formula, a set of astonishing revelations, and a race against time set the stage for this suspense-filled, edge-of-your-seat thriller.

At the story's heart lies the blurring lines between the personal and professional, reminding us of the resilience of the human spirit shadowed by mystery. All intertwined with the allure of early 20th-century London.

This book will appeal to anyone looking for a gripping read full of twist and turns and intricate plot lines, all set against a historically rich, atmospheric backdrop.
