A seventeen-year-old apprentice, Alexandra Young, dies at a busy Tube station. Days later, the Underground becomes a citywide haunting-whispers in tunnels, cold spots on platforms, and a surge of deadly accidents that bring the network to a standstill. Detective Inspector Ian Megevand has seen the unnatural before. When Alexandra’s ghost appears, desperate for justice, he and his partner, Sergeant James Thatcher, are pulled into a case that defies logic-and a manhunt that refuses to stay among the living. As the four men responsible for Alexandra’s death stay one step ahead, thousands of restless spirits rise through London’s arteries. To stop the chaos, Megevand must face his own ghosts and a truth that could cost him his sanity. The Girl on the Tube is a dark, heart-pounding thriller where crime, grief, and the supernatural collide beneath the city-because some secrets refuse to stay buried.More about the story
