The Necropolis Railway

Author(s): Andrew Martin

Fiction

The first in a major series of wonderfully atmospheric Edwardian railway adventures steeped in brilliantly realised historical detail. When Jim Stringer, a railway porter, moves from Yorkshire he finds the London of 1903 is a world of garish pubs and tawdry brothels, boxed in by towering blank-faced factories. Jim finds that his duties are mysteriously confined to a railway line that runs to an enormous cemetery. Still more perplexingly, 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?
