Description
On the evening of Saturday, January 15th, 1977, a local commuter train is delayed at a small village station by a freak blizzard. Young nurse Jennifer Evans, keen to get back to her family, plans to walk the last couple of miles to her home in a neighbouring village. She phones her daughter to confirm that she's on her way, but she never arrives home.
In the ensuing police investigation, no trace of Jennifer Evans is ever found. The only evidence is a photograph taken by a fellow passenger of footprints in the snow in front of Holdergate station.
It appears someone was fleeing for their life….
Contacted by Jennifer's daughter, at first it seems private investigator John "Slim" Hardy has no chance of solving a forty-two-year-old mystery. But as the case begins to unravel, Slim finds himself caught in the centre of a whirlwind which will send him spinning to a dramatic conclusion.

4By unhappy with G5The ending was a surprise, and without much “to do” about it. I liked that. The story was not as engaging as I hoped.Slow Train

5By *Megame$#Enjoyable read...will read all in seriesAwesome series
5By Mongrel2014I loved the first three books in this series and this one is even better. Chris Ward (aka Jack.Benton) writes awesome books and I have read lots of them, including the romance books, his strange Dr. Crow books, and the Tube rider series. They are all really awesome but this series is my favorite. I highly recommend all of Chris Ward/Jack Benton's work but especially this book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
