Description
November 1924. The Endeavour sets sail to New York with 2,000 passengers on board. A killer is among them. When an elderly gentleman is found dead at the foot of a staircase, ship's officer Timothy Birch is ready to declare it a tragic accident. However, Scotland Yard inspector James Temple is certain there is more to this misfortune than meets the eye. Birch agrees to investigate, and the trail quickly leads to the theft of a priceless painting. Its very existence is known only to its owner and the now-dead man. With just days remaining until they reach New York, Birch's search for the culprit is fraught with danger. As the passengers continue to roam the ship, a killer remains in their midst. A complex web of deceit and suspense unfolds as Birch navigates the treacherous world of the Endeavour's passengers. With each twist and turn, the stakes grow higher, leading to a shocking final revelation.
