Summary: A literary thriller in which, in a sense, the London Underground becomes the central character. Someone is pushing women under trains, and a Polish immigrant who works at a north London station - a loner with a complicated past and a secret fear of the dark - is determined to stop the killings. Review: "As inaugural poet in residence at London Zoo, it is apt that Hill should bring to his first novel a poet's care for language and an insider's portrait of a closed community - that of London's aged Underground network, with its dripping side tunnels, invisible workforce and obsolete machinery." --Kirkus UK. Genre: Thriller -- Crime and mystery -- Fiction. Item #209923
