About this book
A closed telegraph office and a hurried leap onto a departing train bring Cyril Crichton face to face with a frightened stranger. Returning to England after three years, he finds himself sharing a compartment with a veiled young woman whose alarm deepens when she hears his name. Police searching the train turn an awkward encounter into an urgent appeal for help.
Elizabeth Kent builds this detective novel around uncertain identities, improvised explanations and the difficulty of deciding whom to trust. Cyril's efforts include arranging a disguise and a carefully planned departure for Priscilla, with his friend Guy Campbell waiting in a taxi. Romantic interest runs alongside the mystery, giving the conversations a personal tension as well as a practical purpose.
