What you need to know before your trail

Someone will die here this morning, at this suburban train station. It will happen in the next five minutes when the 7:06 to London Victoria arrives.

Take note of their positions. The child, the mother, the businessman, the old woman and the gambler.

One of them will die despite your attachment to them. There is probably one you want to get rid of. You don’t have to admit who. But perhaps you should ask yourself why.

The train has stopped.

Someone is dead.

Was it who you chose?

It wasn’t your fault …

So why, dear reader, do you feel so guilty?

Travel Guide

London Victoria

The train in the novel is headed here, but we start the story on a platform somewhere on the line that will take you to the centre of London. This suburban station could be anywhere to be honest but that’s the mystery  – it could happen anywhere and the fact that this is an anon station is key.

Will the train reach its destination?
