A luxury train disappears without a trace. A disgraced detective holds the key. Some secrets were never meant to surface.
When the Glacier Empress-a luxury train carrying Europe's elite-vanishes while traveling through the Swiss Alps, the world is baffled. No distress signal. No wreckage. Just... gone.
Jack Rourke, a former detective living in self-imposed exile after being framed for corruption, discovers a piece of evidence that links the vanished train to a conspiracy reaching the highest levels of power. Among the missing passengers is a whistleblower carrying explosive evidence of a global money laundering scheme involving corrupt government officials and powerful CEOs.
As Jack reluctantly investigates, he attracts the attention of both Interpol agent Sarah Bennett and a shadowy organization called "The Syndicate" that will stop at nothing to keep the train's fate buried. With an uneasy alliance forming between Jack and Sarah, they discover a hidden tunnel system beneath the mountains-where the truth behind the disappearance is far more sinister than anyone imagined.
Racing against time and hunted by mercenaries in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Jack and Sarah must navigate a treacherous web of conspiracy, corruption, and betrayal. The deeper they dig into the mystery of the vanishing train, the clearer it becomes: someone on that train was never meant to reach their destination. And someone will do anything to keep it that way.
A heart-pounding thriller that combines the atmospheric tension of "Murder on the Orient Express" with the high-stakes conspiracy of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," The Vanishing Train is a pulse-quickening journey through Europe's darkest corridors of power where nothing-and no one-is what they seem.
