| December, 1909. A train hits a snow drift 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. Jim Stringer’s new investigation takes him to the mighty blast furnaces of Ironopolis, to Fleet Street in the company of a cynical reporter from The Railway Rover, and to a nightmarish spot in the Highlands. Jim’s faltering career in the railway police hangs on whether he can solve the murder—but before long the pursuer becomes the pursued, and Jim finds himself fighting not just for his job, but for his very life as well. | |
