About this listen

1865. A passenger train stands in York station. Jack Follis, the guard, patrols the platform to make sure that everyone is safely aboard. Returning to the brake van to load a box into it, he is alarmed by a smell of burning. Before he can find the cause, there is an explosion and the van is engulfed in flames.

Responding to summons from the North-Eastern Railway, Robert Colbeck and Victor Leeming are sent to investigate. The two are split on whether a murder has taken place. Although the information they received was scant, Colbeck is convinced this is a murder case.

The longer the investigation goes on, the more complex it becomes. Guilt shifts at a bewildering speed. It will take the combined skills of the detectives to identify and catch the person responsible for causing Jack Follis' death.

This is an okay book. I'm always on two minds about these books. They are either brilliant or very banal..I must think the former because I have 13 of them! But this one not his best. If you want to listen to these books I would start with an earlier one....
