Different people react to disasters in different ways. But why would Amy Petty want the world to presume her dead?
Fate is not alone in deciding who lives and who dies after the crash of a train travelling from Kent to London. One passenger uses the opportunity to commit a murder. Another — the blonde and beautiful Amy Petty — uses the accident as an opportunity to leave her life behind....

“Frances Fyfield is one of the best of the new group of British writers including Minette Walters and Liza Cody ... dark, brilliantly plotted suspense dramas.” — The Globe and Mail
