**"When the train rolls into Canot on a frosty winter night, two passengers get off. One is a *young girl*; the other, a mysterious *man muffled in bandages and a long scarf*. Unknown to each other, these two are linked by a strange scrap of paper and an old story of greed and terror."*—goodreads***
