A magnificent tale of heart-stopping suspense from the highly acclaimed master of the genre. The Rocky Mountains, Winter 1873…One of the most desolate stretches of railroad in the West. Travelling along it is a crowded troop train, bound for the cholera-stricken garrison at Fort Humboldt. On board are the Governor of Nevada, the daughter of the fort’s commander and a US marshal escorting a notorious outlaw. Between them and safety are the hostile Paiute Indians – and a man who will stop at nothing, not even murder…In this gripping work of fiction, the suspense is palpable as the train barrels through the desolate western landscape. The action intensifies as the notorious outlaw and the US marshal face off, their fates intertwined with those of the Governor of Nevada and the commander's daughter.For fans of Frederick Forsyth (The Day of the Jackal), Ken Follett (Triple), Edward Marston (Murder in Transit), and Eric Ambler (The Schirmer Inheritance).HarperCollins 2024 Show more
