Murder on the 207: A London Bus Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798263638139)

DEATH ON THE 207: A LONDON BUS MYSTERY
A sealed bag. A crowded bus. One passenger never makes it home.

On a rain-lashed Friday night outside Ealing Hospital, the 207 bus hisses to a halt-and a passenger collapses. An off-duty nurse begins CPR, the driver holds the doors, a reverend whispers a prayer... and a sealed satchel becomes the most argued-over object on the bus. By Monday, the "official" story is everywhere. It's neat. It's wrong.

Two civilians refuse to look away: Podge, who was live-threading the storm, and Maria, who can read a city like a map. Their trail-water-logged files, Old Oak contracts, CCTV blind spots, a white SUV with a scuffed bumper-pulls them through Ealing, Southall, and Shepherd's Bush toward a truth someone is desperate to shred. As CID locks down the bus and the news cycle moves on, Podge and Maria race the clock to answer the only question that matters: not just who killed a man, but who gets to decide what the truth will be.
