Description
A Yorkshire village is left stunned when Colonel Aubrey Tarleton, a respected member of the community, deliberately walks into the path of a speeding train. His body is found with a note pinned to his chest, addressed to Superintendent Tallis at Scotland Yard. The note reveals that Tarleton's life is no longer worth living unless he can be reunited with his beloved wife, who has disappeared. When news arrives of another body found on a railway track near Thirsk, the coincidence is too great to ignore. Inspector Robert Colbeck and Sergeant Victor Leeming are tasked with uncovering the truth behind these tragic events. As they investigate, Tallis must confront the possibility that Tarleton's actions may be linked to his wife's disappearance. With Colbeck by his side, Tallis sets out to unravel the complex web of relationships and motives that led to these devastating events.
