From the author of the ever-popular Steaming Into books: the first in a series of short crime fiction novels, set aboard the steam railways.
In wartime Birkenhead, tragedy strikes when a gang of mischievous children ignore their parents' warnings and play amid the bombsites. It soon becomes clear that the local hospital has been the victim of some black-market activity and the substandard medicine fails to do its job. A boy who should have been saved has lost his life.
Retired Detective Inspector Roger Wolseley has seen enough greedy chancers making capital from the war and makes it his mission in retirement to hunt down the criminal behind the knock-off drugs. He soon has his man and is hot on his tail, heading for the South Coast on the Margate Express.
A young family become unintentionally entangled in Wolseley's escapades, and fans of Michael Clutterbuck's previous books will be delighted to find Driver George Denton and Fireman Lance Hargreaves also have a role to play.
