In Thurbin’s exciting new series, readers are introduced to Jack Ramsey, a freelance investigative journalist with a reputation for ferreting out stories that many would prefer to see kept under wraps. In this first book in the series, Ramsey meets up with an old colleague in a pub and learns about the transport of gold bullion by rail to the Far East. Then, when the body of a freight train driver is found in the Thames, he realises that the events are no coincidence. When Ramsey delves into the secret world of clandestine government operations and the criminal underworld, he runs into serious opposition and when his investigation threatens to expose the truth, both factions have their reasons for wanting to silence him.
