A brilliant murder mystery set in Edwardian London about a railway line that runs only to a massive cemetery. Daily MirrorWhen 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? Guaranteed to make the flesh creep and the skin crawl, a masterful novel about a mad, clanking, fog-bound world. Simon WinchesterA murderous conspiracy of a plot graced with style, wit and the sharp, true taste of a time gone by ... So beautifully nuanced and so effortlessly pleasurable to read that you almost want to keep it a personal secret. Independent on Sunday
