Blood on the Line

1857. On the LNWR train to London, a criminal is being escorted to his appointment with the hangman. But the wily Jeremy Oxley, conman, thief, and murderer, has one last ace up his sleeve—a beautiful and ruthless accomplice willing to do anything to save her lover, including cold-blooded murder.

When the Railway Detective Inspector Robert Colbeck learns that Oxley, his arch-nemesis, has escaped, black memories of their shared past leave him no choice but to do his duty, whatever the cost. With the faithful Victor Leeming at his side, Colbeck must use all of his skills to track his elusive enemy. But could he have finally met his match?

Blood on the Line by Edward Marston is a thrilling tale of cunning escape, relentless pursuit, and the blurred line between justice and vengeance that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
