✦ Synopsis

They were five strangers on a fogbound train—

a psychiatrist’s pretty secretary,

an agitated young man,

a tweedy lady with a deep voice,

a stockbrokerish businessman,

and an eel-like “spiv.”

One was brutally attacked in the choking

black fog at Paddington Station.

Attempted murder became bona fide manslaughter,

and examination of the intimate lives

of the passengers involved Chief Inspector Macdonald

in a macabre game of hide-and-seek

in which one man had tried to find his identity,

and another was ready to kill to preserve

the shroud of darkness that obscured his.
