|summary=Special Branch police officer Arthur Beck is fleeing his past. Martha Heaton is a journalist, reluctantly chasing a puff-piece story. And Sten-Ake Gustafson is hoping to see his grandchildren before the cancer kills him. They have all chosen the same brand-new ship for their voyage to the States: the Titanic.

}}

This year sees the hundredth anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, and several books, for both children and adults, are being published based on the story of the doomed ship. In this particular book the fact that we already know fate of the majority of the travellers adds a whole new level of tension to a story which is already an exciting thriller. Not only is there the question of whether they will catch the bad guy or not, but also, and more crucially: will the main characters all survive?

For more factual approaches to the story of the Titanic, try [[Lost Voices from the Titanic: The Definitive Oral History by Nick Barratt]], an excellent history of the people who travelled on the doomed ship, or [[How to Survive the Titanic or the Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay by Frances Wilson]]. Recent novels based on the disaster include [[The Company of the Dead by David Kowalski]].
