'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
