Book Synopsis
The fascinating story of the first ever railway murder

Trade Review
(A) thrilling book, which reads at times like a good Victorian novel... an utterly compelling did-he-do-it * Sunday Times *
Deploying her skill as a historian, Colquhoun turns a single curious murder case into a fascinatingly quirky portrait of the underside of mid-Victorian London. I found it unputdownable * Daily Telegraph *
Kate Colquhoun is a fine, robust writer who makes the most of its every twist and turn * Mail on Sunday *
With a storyteller's instinct for colour and suspense Kate Colquhoun has brilliantly recreated the five-month period from Thomas Briggs' death to Muller's execution * Daily Express *
Kate Colquhoun's irreproachable unpicking of the case is meticulous, patient, thorough and measured * Independent *
