Description

When a young woman dies after falling from a train in Cornwall, accident and intent blur, and Julian Wyllard of the manor is drawn into secrets that weigh destiny, responsibility, and buried force. Suspense and moral doubt share the same track. Spoken as when Wyllard’s weird still asks what fate will claim for a death that will not stay simple.
