London, 1996.

A seventeen-year-old apprentice, Alexandra Young, dies at a busy Tube station. Days later, the Underground becomes a citywide haunting—whispers in tunnels, cold spots on platforms, and a surge of deadly accidents that bring the network to a standstill.

Detective Inspector Ian Megevand has seen the unnatural before. When Alexandra’s ghost appears, desperate for justice, he and his partner, Sergeant James Thatcher, are pulled into a case that defies logic—and a manhunt that refuses to stay among the living.

As the four men responsible for Alexandra’s death stay one step ahead, thousands of restless spirits rise through London’s arteries. To stop the chaos, Megevand must face his own ghosts and a truth that could cost him his sanity.

The Girl on the Tube is a dark, heart-pounding thriller where crime, grief, and the supernatural collide beneath the city—because some secrets refuse to stay buried.

More about the story

Beneath London’s streets lies a world most commuters never see—dark service tunnels, abandoned platforms, sealed stations untouched since the Blitz. It is here the ghosts gather. And when Alexandra Young dies at Holborn Station, something ancient and restless begins to stir.

As Megevand hunts four men who think they’ve escaped justice, the city turns against him: trains stall, shadows move, accidents spike, and the dead begin to whisper across the network.

Every hour the haunting grows.
Every hour, more victims join the Underground’s chorus.
And every track leads back to a secret someone would kill to keep buried.
Because in London’s depths, the past isn’t dead—it’s waiting.
