'Andrew Martin has recreated an extraordinarily convincing world . . . Terrific.' Daily Telegraph December, 1909. A train hits a snowdrift in the frozen Cleveland Hills. In the process of clearing the line a body is discovered, and so begins a dangerous case for struggling railway detective Jim Stringer, a case which will take him from the Highlands to Fleet Street to the mighty blast furnaces of Ironopolis. Jim's faltering career hangs on whether he can solve the murder, but before long Jim finds himself fighting not just for his job, but also for his life . . . 'A wonderful evocation of Edwardian Britain . . . Tough, scary and funny, this is a novel for anyone who loves a page-turning detective story.' 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
