'All about speed . . . this novel is a masterclass' - The Independent

A woman determined to make her mark. A journey that will change everything.

Paris, 1895. Glamour hides a city on the brink. One morning, a young woman boards the Granville express with a deadly plan.

On the journey lives intertwine in explosive ways. There are the railway crew who have everything to lose, a little boy travelling alone for the first time, an elderly statesman with his fragile wife and a lonely artist far from home.

The train speeds towards the City of Light and into a future that will change everything . . .

'An edge-of-your-seat historical thriller that I couldn't put down' - Shelby Van Pelt, author of Remarkably Bright Creatures
