The Gallows, Right on Schedule

THE GALLOWS, RIGHT ON SCHEDULE

Punishment is never late.

Paris. A powerful general is on trial for corruption. But the evidence against him is disappearing, the authorities are compromised, and his acquittal seems certain.

Then Julien Renard, a quiet government auditor in Bordeaux, discovers a million-franc discrepancy hidden inside military accounts.

He finds forged documents. Ghost companies. Missing shipments.

And names that lead directly to the highest levels of power.

Julien knows that if the originals reach Paris, the general may finally face justice. So he hides the evidence inside a battered leather valise and boards the night express from Bordeaux.

He never arrives.

The train disappears somewhere along the railway.

No wreckage is found. No bodies. No trace of the passengers.

Three months later, Julien suddenly walks into a government office in Paris.

He looks exactly as he did the night he vanished.

He insists that he left Bordeaux only yesterday.

And he is still carrying the valise.

As Marta Laroche and the prosecutor examine the recovered evidence, they begin to realize that Julien's disappearance is only part of a mystery far more disturbing than political corruption.

Something happened in the fog.

Something that took the train beyond the reach of ordinary time.

And perhaps the strangest thing of all is that justice was waiting for them on the other side.

The Gallows, Right on Schedule is a gothic historical mystery filled with political intrigue, supernatural suspense, and a haunting journey where time itself disappears.

Because justice may be delayed.

But punishment is never late.
