The Four-Fifteen Express

A fog-shrouded train. A vanished passenger. A truth that defies the living.

When William Langford boards the 4:15 express on a damp December evening, he expects nothing more than a quiet journey to his friend’s country estate. But his solitary compartment is unexpectedly intruded upon by a familiar traveler — a reserved, pale-faced gentleman carrying a heavy deed-box and an unsettling air.

By the time the train slows into Blackwater station, the stranger disappears into the swirling mist. And then — he is gone. Not merely from sight, but from the world.

Langford soon learns the unthinkable: the man he shared the compartment with died months before. His arrival at Dumbleton Manor sets off shock, whispers, and a chilling realization that reason cannot explain.

Driven by duty — and haunted by what he saw — Langford becomes entwined in a mystery that bridges the natural and the supernatural. What begins as a polite Victorian travel tale unravels into a ghostly investigation, a financial scandal, and a murder buried beneath brambles, secrets, and time.

Amelia B. Edwards delivers one of the finest railway ghost mysteries of the Victorian age — a tale steeped in cold iron, lamplight, and a chilling question that echoes long after the final page:

What travels with us when justice has not yet been served?

Perfect for fans of M.R. James, Charles Dickens’ ghost stories, and Sherlock Holmes-era intrigue.

Narrated with atmospheric depth by Jason Miller.
