The classic psychological thriller that was adapted for film by Alfred Hitchcock, now a major BBC drama
___________________________
'Miss Froy?' repeated the baroness. 'I do not know anyone who has that name.'

Exhausted after her vacation in Europe, the young socialite Iris Carr is set for a return to England. Aboard the train, Iris is glad to have the company of the elderly Miss Froy - the only other passenger she can tolerate.

But when Iris wakes up after a long rest, Miss Froy has vanished. Suspecting foul play, Iris is suspicious of the strange passengers surrounding her, most of whom cannot understand her. Those who can, however, have serious doubts that such a 'Miss Froy' ever existed...

Iris' dream vacation soon turns into a nightmare voyage back to England, forcing her to explore the uncharted territories of both her surroundings and her own mind.

Autorenporträt

Born in Abergavenny, Wales in 1876, Ethel Lina White was one of the best known crime writers of the 1930s and 40s, ranking alongside greats of the Golden Age such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. Many of her thrillers were adapted for film, most famously The Lady Vanishes (originally titled The Wheel Spins) which became one of Alfred Hitchcock's greatest triumphs as a director.
