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.
