Loose Ends: The Past Never Stays on the Right Side of the Tracks

By Peter Clark

On a fogbound October night in 1976, a diesel train hurtles towards a rural crossing in North Yorkshire. The warning lights flash. The barriers are down. But something is already on the tracks.

The crash is devastating. The driver is killed instantly.

What first appears to be a tragic accident soon reveals a darker truth when a body is discovered in the nearby farmhouse kitchen - strangled hours before the train left the rails.

Detective Superintendent Tom Bowers is called to lead the investigation, unaware that the driver was his oldest and closest friend. As grief collides with duty, Bowers must untangle a web of violence, missing millions, and long-simmering family tensions at Oak Tree Farm.

A brown envelope stuffed with cash raises more questions than answers. Rumours of a vanished fortune refuse to fade. And the timeline doesn't quite add up. Was it despair? Murder? Or something far more calculated?

In a community shrouded in mist and silence, every answer leads to another loose-end and someone is determined to keep the truth buried... Because some secrets don't stay hidden... THEY DERAIL LIVES.
