Four Chimes After Dark

Four unforgettable stories of ordinary people pushed to extraordinary extremes.

Four Chimes After Dark - When Alex boards the 7:42 train from Watford Junction, she expects the usual commute. Instead, she discovers a service that runs literally on time-sliding through history, carrying ghost passengers who boarded decades ago, and hiding a terrifying truth at its heart. To find her way home, Alex must confront not just the mysteries of the train, but the reasons she's been running her whole life.

The President's Book - Marcus Tiller was a failing governor until he discovered the flick. Now he's President, and the whole world has watched him hold a children's book to his ear before every decision. The cadence is impossible-a perfect mathematical constant no human thumb could replicate. The question isn't whether Tiller is human. The question is: does it matter?

Bus Pass - Twelve strangers board a mystery tour bus for a day of scenic countryside views. The driver knows all their secrets. And he has one rule: when a secret is revealed, anyone who has been wronged may "pull their ticket"-permanently. The tour has never had a survivor. Until now.

How to Hide in the Countryside - Cass Holloway built a career teaching millions how to disappear. When something starts watching from the treeline of her remote valley-something wearing the camouflage she invented, speaking in her own words-she realises she's been teaching the wrong students all along.
