Book Description:
Ethel Lina White's thriller classic, featuring the original 'girl on a train' scenario.
From the Back Cover:
70 years of timeless stories. One essential collection.
She’s the original girl on a train . . .
In this nail-bitingly tense thriller, Iris Henderson finds herself in a terrifying situation when her travelling companion on a cross-Europe train journey vanishes suddenly from their compartment. Every other passenger on board insists that the woman doesn’t exist – that she was never there at all.
But as the train rattles on through Europe it becomes increasingly clear that something very sinister is at work and Iris must embark on her own investigation to discover the unsettling truth. Hugely influential in the seventy years since its original publication (then titled The Wheel Spins), The Lady Vanishes remains a thriller of inimitable quality and power.
