Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: An Inspector Vignoles Mystery

Violet McIntyre is faced with a difficult decision that could have significant consequences for her mother and younger sister. Little did she know how disastrous this choice would turn out to be. Soon, Violet finds herself inexplicably intertwined with an investigation led by Detective Inspector Charles Vignoles of the L.N.E.R Detective Department. Vignoles initially believes he is making progress, but everything takes a dangerous turn when two young railway cleaners at Woodford Halse locomotive depot make a shocking discovery, leading to a rapidly escalating and deadly situation.

As D.I. Vignoles struggles to make sense of the unfolding chaos, his judgment becomes clouded, much like the smoke emanating from the dirty locomotives that constantly fills his vision. With a woman's life hanging in the balance, Vignoles knows he cannot afford to make any mistakes. The story is set in 1946, amidst the bleak aftermath of post-war Britain, creating a gripping and atmospheric murder mystery that captures the essence of the old Great Central Railway and the vibrant swing music of the era.
