A trip to Europe is all in a day's work for Liz Sharp-that is, until an anarchist throws a bomb at her employer.

No one deserves to be executed and revivified as one of the undead policemen that terrorise Europe-and if that wasn't enough, the bomber, Anton Lupei, claims he and Liz were once lovers.

As the Orient Express steams from Paris to Hungary, Liz's search for her past threatens to uncover a continent-spanning conspiracy. Why are the anarchists targeting Princess May? Who was Miss Sharp before she lost her memories? And how do you avoid being drained by a very hungry vampire? It's just as well Liz thought to bring a set of lock-pick hairpins...
