Just as Annie and her family are starting to put recent events behind them, Bamford, the railway detective hired by Charles to find out who sabotaged his viaduct, returns to Jericho looking for Redhugeen. Bamford is now certain that Red was behind the explosion and wants him tracked down and punished. With Bamford sniffing around, Annie, Johnny and George are terrified that their deadly secret will be exposed.
In her desperation to protect George, Annie unwittingly opens the door for Bamford to get a step closer to her family and to the truth. When George goes missing it looks like Annie's best-laid plans have backfired. Annie has to find George before his disappearance draws unwanted attention their way.
Yesterday wilderness. Tomorrow civilisation. In the Yorkshire Dales in the 1870s, the shantytown of Jericho is the home of a community that will live, thrive and die in the shadow of the viaduct they've been brought together to build.
