A ghost train, lost in Time, hurtles through the night...

Two members of Team 236 are trapped on board. Not ideal under any circumstances but catastrophic when they're at each other's throats.

Hot on their heels, but never quite able to catch up, can Lt Grint and his team overcome all obstacles in their way and save their fellow officers before the train disappears for good?

Nor is TPHQ without its own problems as Matthew risks his sanity to track them through the Time Map. And a Mikey-experiment goes horribly wrong, exposing something better left concealed for all Time. What are the Time Police hiding?

Critic reviews

'Jodi Taylor is quite simply the Queen of Time' C. K. MCDONNELL

Too much fire trucking fun!

Action, if you’ve listened to the time police series it’s a smooth transition from the last episode, if you’re a new listener you might have a bit of catch up in the first bit. Keeps your attention focused throughout,

The time police are as much fun as a basket full of ….

I love commander hay’s resigned attitude of “whatever can go wrong, will go wrong” when discussing the day’s upcoming events with captain Farrington. Team 236 and ‘Mikey’ mickeljohn keep things in a constant state of chaos and that’s the way we like it. Grint’s and Jane’s attempt at a romantic weekend is hysterical and wince-producing. Brilliantly written. I had many good laughs from this book. Can hardly wait for the next one.

Keeps Getting Better

After spending almost a year binging the St. Mary’s and Time Police books, I was greatly looking forward to this release. It did not disappoint!! I am continually falling in love with Jane, Luke, and Matthew and find myself genuinely worrying for their well being with each adventure. The humor that is laced throughout the books is like no other, and the romance between Grint & Jane is quite entertaining. Although, I can definitely see him throwing her over his shoulder and stomping on their coms in the near future.

These books feed my love of history. This one, with the train barreling through time has a sinister shadow that you truly don’t know they will escape from. The touch on mental health and well being was a much appreciated vibe as all the characters are relatable in some way. Once again, I am finding myself eagerly awaiting the next book.

Best title in this series

Finally the team showed growth and the book stands alone from the St Marys series. Thank you

My favorite author is Jodi Taylor

Jodi Taylor has created a world of characters that I love to visit. Zara Ram brings them to life. I enjoyed reading print versions of the books but the audiobook is a must. The authors sense of humor and cleverness of the dialogue hit just right when read by Zara Ram. Thank you both!

As always, so good.

Great ...slight correction on the pronunciation of Taos as in the Taos hum, Only because I live here in Taos, but I bet no one else noticed so Fantastic in every way otherwise and as always. Thanks you! 👍👍😁

How in the world will they get out of this?

This ride is nothing short of a delight. Jody Taylor and Zara Ramm are the best at what they do.

Top notch!

I’m a huge Jodi Taylor fan, but with previous book, I was afraid the time police series was running out of steam. Happily, my fears were unfounded. Great story—it was delightful from start to finish. Zara Ramm’s narration remains stellar. Highly recommend.

Can’t wait for next book!

Sheer enjoyment. I really enjoy these books and the narration brings them to life. Thx!!

Amazing story, amazing narrator

European history at its best. I think the narrator is perfection, itself. Each character is distinct and voiced appropriate to the established character, and the voice is carried through each book (and no second reader to confuse the issue). And, in case it isn't apparent, I think the author is marvelous; I enjoy her use of language and appreciate the editing care. Yet, I come at this series with just a bit of trepidation... history is never benign, and the author throws some of the regrettable? deplorable? bits of the past to remind me of that, and adds humor and love and friendship and enough of the better parts of humanity, as well.

I cannot thank the author enough for including a dramatis personae at the beginning of the books.

And since I generally listen to the books, I am pleased that I don't have to put up with all those superfluous "U"s.... ;-)
