Description

A brand new edition of the classic crime novel that inspired Alfred Hitchcock.

Glamorous socialite Iris Carr is on her way back to England from a European summer holiday and looking forward to the comforts of home. On the train to Trieste, she strikes up a conversation with the kindly Miss Froy. At ease with her new companion, Irene dozes off, but wakes to find that Miss Froy has disappeared from the train.
