Paris, 1895. Professional translator Judith Fenwick expects nothing more dangerous than a long railway journey and several weeks of commercial work in Constantinople. Then the captivatingand thoroughly dishonestCoralie Vardon steals the wrong suitcase aboard an international train. Inside are thousands of pounds in cash and securities, the passport of a dead British engineer, a strangely marked railway timetable...and a photograph of Judith. The two women have never met. Judith understands languages, documents, codes, and the tiny inconsistencies most people overlook. Coralie understands lies, greed, disguises, and exactly what people will risk to possess what they desire. Forced into an uneasy alliance, they follow the suitcase's secrets eastward through Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Sofia, and toward Constantinople, discovering an international marketplace where stolen information can be worth a fortuneprovided it arrives only a few hours before the truth. But someone has been expecting Judith. And the farther the train carries them, the clearer it becomes that her journey may have been arranged long before she bought her ticket. Between coded timetables, false identities, compromised telegrams, and enemies hidden among respectable travellers, distrust slowly becomes fascinationand fascination becomes a dangerous intimacy neither woman intended. To survive the journey, Judith and Coralie must discover not only who is manipulating the railway network, but whether two women accustomed to guarding their independence can trust each other when the next lie may be the one that matters most. The Suitcase in Compartment Seven is the first novel in The Adventuresses of the Midnight Train, a sensual Victorian sapphic adventure series of international intrigue, railway mysteries, sophisticated confidence games, and two formidable women discovering that partnership may be the greatest risk of all.
