The Blackpool Highflyer (Jim Stringer, #2)

3.3/5 ( ratings)

'Genuinely gripping ... A brilliant evocation of Edwardian working-class life - the sort of thing DH Lawrence might have written had he been less verbose or been blessed with a sense of humour.' Peter Parker, Evening Standard

The second Jim Stringer adventure, The Blackpool Highflyer is a superbly atmospheric thriller of sabotage, suspicion and steam.

'Unique and important ... There is no one else who is writing like Andrew Martin today.' Ian Marchant, Guardian

'Evokes Edwardian Yorkshire and Lancashire, their great industrial prosperity and singular ways of living, quite brilliantly in a historical whodunnit which for its fresh and stealthy approach to past times deserves the adjective Bainbridgean.' Ian Jack, Guardian

'A steamy whodunnit ... This may well be the best fiction about the railways since Dickens.' Michael Williams, Independent on Sunday

Language: English

Format: Paperback

Release: January 01, 2004

ISBN 13: 9780571219025
