I loved this one. The shady surreal passage of the book mirrored the dark passage of the train itself loaded with thieves and a troubled man who stalked them. the variety in the language and the edgy dark nature of the writers style...pull all of it together and it is a marvellous story.if i could say anything to someone looking at this book i would say ignore whatever genre it happens to be in when you look at the categories. It is, as i said, edgy but it entwines a flavour of mythology with suspense, possibly even a bit of a romantic twist with that kind of old time heroism. it begins with the train full of characters operating as pick pockets and the whole atmosphere comes across as so dark yet bleak, as does the tale of the hero.if i could sum the writing up in a word it would be 'intelligent.' And i will leave it at that
