When Hannah is invited into the First-Class carriage of the London to Penzance train by Jinni, she walks into a spider's web.
Now a poor young single mother, Hannah once escaped Cornwall to go to university. But once she married Jake & had his child, her dreams were crushed into bitter disillusion. Her husband has left her for Eve, rich & childless, & Hannah has been surviving by becoming a cleaner in London.
Jinni is equally angry & bitter, & in the course of their journey the two women agree to murder each other's husbands. After all, they are strangers on a train
- who could possibly connect them?
But when Hannah goes to Jinni's husband's home the next night, she finds Stan, a huge, hairy, ugly drunk who has his own problems
- not least the care of a half-ruined house & garden. He claims Jinni is a very different person to the one who has persuaded Hannah to commit a terrible crime.
Who is telling the truth
- & who is the real victim?
