York, 1914. An army enlistment notice is pinned up in the railway police office.

Friendships and enmities have already been born among the Pals. Before they departed for France, a member of Jim's unit was murdered.

"Another cracker in the series. Looking at the Great War through the terrified, amused and unassumingly heroic eyes Jim Stringer is an rewarding way to do so. The portrayal of the war is unflinching but never maudlin. This serious always keeps a sense of humour."

    " A delightful, old-style murder mystery set in 1915. Involving the men of the North eastern railway batallion. Superbly researched and masterfully written, a tale of ordinary men in extraordinary circumstances. Highly recommended. "
