THE LAST TRAIN TO BRACKLEY CENTRAL
The fifth book in the Inspector Vignoles series
"I know she"s out there - beside the viaduct. Waiting." The signalman looked anxious.
"But I heard she rides the train." The red light from the signal stained the porter"s face.
"She does that too - but always on the last train. Yes, the last train to Brackley Central."
Richard Irons, Magdalen College School"s new mathematics master, awakens when a strange woman creeps into his compartment with a sad tale to tell - and a deadly favour to ask. But as the train reaches
Brackley Central she slips through his arms like a phantom.
Detective Inspector Vignoles will never have a more curious and baffling case as he searches for a young woman apparently back from the dead, a savage dog on the prowl, and for the Cobra"s Eye,
a diamond known to destroy the lives of all who touch it.
