Sinopsis de THE LOST LUGGAGE PORTER

A cracking good thriller.Independent on Sunday
Unerringly sharp and pioneeringly original, it locks the reader in from start to finish. Andrew Barrow, Spectator

Winter, 1906. Its Jim Stringers first day as an official railway detective, but hes not a happy man.


As the rain falls incessantly on the citys ancient streets, the local paper carries a story highly unusual by York standards: two brothers have been shot to death.

Soon Jim enters the orbit of a dangerous, disturbed villain - and discovers that the two murders are barely the start of his plans . . .

The atmosphere of neglected streets... dingy saloon bars, suppers of boiled bacon and pickles, and dismal, unceasing rain are splendidly evoked ... if youre fond of a stroll through Edwardian working-class life and the innards of steam engines, these might seem to be transports of delight.Telegraph

Praise for the Jim Stringer series:
Breathe in the heady mixture of smoke, oil and steam - and the odd spot of real ale - and feel the crunch of cinders beneath your feet... youre in historic railway territory again.Manchester Evening News
Finely honed crime novels with plotting as precise as a Swiss watch. Daily Express
This series is, er, really building up a head of steam.Observer


Readers love Jim Stringer, railway detective:
Its hard to envisage anyone not warming to Jim Stringer.Independent
An unlikely sleuth - ingenuous, naive and a little anxious - but an endearing narrator, a solid bloke whod be good company over a pint of stout down the pub.Telegraph
The best sleuth that 200 years of the railways have ever produced.Independent on Sunday
