Description
One night, in a private boarding house in Scarborough, a railwayman vanishes, leaving his belongings behind...
It is the eve of the Great War, and Jim Stringer, railway detective, is uneasy about his next assignment. It's not so much the prospect Scarborough in the gloomy off-season that bothers him, or even the fact that the last railwayman to stay in the house has disappeared without trace. It's more that his governer, Chief Inspector Saul Weatherhill, seems to be deliberately holding back details of the case - and that he's been sent to Scarborough with a trigger-happy assistant. And when Jim encounters the seductive and beautiful Amanda Rickerby a whole new personal danger enters Jim's life...
The Last Train to Scarborough is the latest charming and atmospheric mystery for Andrew Martin's celebrated 'Steam Detective' Jim Stringer.
