From the Hardcover edition.
Andrew Rosenheim has lived in England since first going there as a Rhodes Scholar in 1977. In 1999, he was involved in a major train collision at Paddington in London and it was this event that made him decide to leave his senior position in publishing and write full-time.
"Rosenheim eschews playing the plot simply for thrills, preferring to engage the reader's emotions, but nevertheless comes up with a real page-turner."
