Headline: October 1952 - England’s worst train crash stuns Britain.

112 people were killed and 340 injured when the sleeping-car express from Perth, Scotland, ploughed into the London bound commuter train standing at Harrow & Wealdstone station. Carriages and people were ripped to bits instantly. Within seconds, a northbound express smashed into their bodies and wreckage.

The Ministry of Transport’s investigation into the crash posthumously blamed the experienced crew of the Perth express. But why they passed several danger signals actually remains an unanswered question to this day. What could have gone so wrong on the footplate of the Perth express?
Lorna survived the carnage, but seven years on she still suffers terrible nightmares and daytime traumas. She hopes DI Oliver Crosier, of the British Railway Police, will know something to help her come to terms with her terrors and the tragic loss of her sister, brother and niece.

Crosier’s investigation of British Railways’ first serial killer, leads him to suspect that he is linked to the Harrow and Wealdstone crash. His family is targeted by the killer, and his wife’s refusal to follow Oliver to Crewe, only add to Crosier’s problems, including his love life. Will Sergeant Claire Cardin be able to help the DI or will her charms be a distraction Oliver Crosier could well do without?
