Piper Lam (renameable) has always dreamed of being a journalist—being able to hone her fine storytelling skills and exposing secrets of the power brokers was all that motivated her. Such ambition brought her from San Francisco to the Atlantic Coast, only to find her assigned to the society columns. Opportunity presents itself in the most unusual of ways, though, such as a murder on the transnational express she's travelling on and an unexpected ally in a fellow passenger.

Reporter, The Daily Sentinel

Piper moves cross-country to pursue journalism… only to end up stuck penning society columns. Writing tabloid gossip is no fun when she dreams of reporting on crimes and bringing powerful criminals to justice!

While traveling on the transnational express, a dead body causes quite a stir! When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade—or solve a murder. Playing Sherlock should be easy, right?

(To be) Accountant, Holland-Melville Brothers, Pvt. Ltd

Introverted, prickly, rude — Julian's demeanor is more challenging than charming. If only he’d spend less time alone. He always prefers books and sketch pads over other people, except his older brother, Edward.

When Edward sends Julian on a business trip to America, Julian ends up on the transnational express… along with a murdered former acquaintance and an eternally curious young woman with a notebook always at the ready!
