Night Train

'I worked one hundred murders,' says Detective Mike Hoolihan, an American policewoman. 'In my time I have come in on the aftermath of maybe a thousand suspicious deaths, most of which turned out to be suicides, accidentals or plain unattendeds. So I've seen them all: jumpers, stumpers, dumpers, dunkers, bleeders, floaters, poppers, bursters. But of all the bodies I have ever seen none has stayed with me, in my gut, like the body of Jennifer Rockwell. I say all this because I am part of the story I am going to tell, and I feel the need to give you some idea of where I'm coming from.'

Night Trainis a mystery story which lingers in the reader's mind even after Mike Hoolihan declares the case closed.

Martin Amisis the author of fourteen novels, the memoirExperience, two collections of stories and six collections of non-fiction. He lives in New York.

'Tough, noir, Chandleresque - Amis is still the finest English fiction writer of his generation' Independent
