The Lost Luggage Porter by Andrew Martin
Page-turning, confidently written. The Guardian (London)The atmosphere of neglected streets . . . dingy saloon bars, supper of boiled bacon and pickles, and dismal, unceasing rain are splendidly evoked. The Telegraph (London)
From the author of The Necropolis Railway and The Blackpool Highflyer comes another ingenious railway thriller featuring Jim Stringer. It is the winter of 1906, and Jim Stringer has been promoted from amateur sleuth to official railway detective for York station. When the station s mysterious lost luggage porter tips him off to a group of railway thieves, Jim is instructed to infiltrate the thieves gang and unwittingly enters the orbit of a dangerous, deranged villain.
