"She once saved my life. She now wants to destroy it."

But he never forgets the woman on the train. So when, unexpectedly, he receives a desperate letter from her, begging him to come to her aid, he gladly offers to return the favour.

But the woman hides a dark and terrible secret, which, if exposed, threatens to destroy them both.

Torn between the woman he loves and the woman who saved his life, France watches as his life and reputation are placed on the line. Why did the Woman on the Train help him all those years ago, and who, exactly, is she?
