At first, I took you for a charming jewel thief.
London, 1938. After attending a music hall matinee, Richard Hadley has an unexpected
encounter with the mysterious Miss Lambert. Determined to defend her
from the apparently hostile forces closing in, he pursues her to a grand hotel deep in
the English countryside, then onto a train bound for Scotland. From one of the great
storytellers of our time, Miss Lambert Steps Aboard Danger is an exquisite entertainment
in which nothing is quite as it seems.
