On a rail platform at shift change, three authorities arrive with the same demand in different forms: the east booth prints it on blue stock, the upper office speaks it through a voice, and the passage authority sends a runner with a lacquered baton and no paper at all. They want the Car. They want the civic credential. They want the recorder.

Car 404 sits on the platform with forty-three people waiting for onward care, a disputed count, and not enough water for another day. The crew can move the Car, if compatible power remains live and an operator accepts the route. What they cannot do is satisfy all three authorities at once.

Narrated by Ayida, who was not on the platform when the demands arrived, The Fourth Rail is assembled from the released platform recorder, freight tallies, the security inventory, and testimony given years later by people whose names were cut from the first civic edition. It is a story about credentials, who holds them, who answers them, and what happens when no one does.

“An engrossing tale taking the reader from Ireland and UK to refugee camps of Eastern Europe. A 5-star read.” Paul Carson, bestselling author of “Scalpel” and “Inquest.”

Cliona has spent years running — from her past in Ireland, from addiction, from herself. When she joins a traveling comedy troupe bringing laughter to refugee camps across war-torn Eastern Europe, she believes she has finally found a way to make amends.

Leon is a soldier shaped by conflict. As war engulfs Yugoslavia, his homeland, he discovers a capacity for violence that both empowers and consumes him. With each passing day, he moves further from the man he once was — husband, father, citizen — and closer to something far more dangerous.

When Cliona and Leon’s paths cross in a refugee camp, neither expects the agonizing and life-changing consequences they will have to face. In a place defined by loss and tragedy, a fleeting moment of human connection forces Leon to confront the truth of what he has become — and offers Cliona a glimpse of the fragile power of compassion.

As it continues to tear lives apart, they must confront a universal question: whether redemption is still within reach… or if some choices can never be undone.

“Gripping” – Kirkus Reviews

Based on true accounts of children’s penal colonies that emerged during the 1990s post-Soviet chaos, Going to Zossen is a raw exploration of the bargains ordinary people make under oppressive systems – necessary reading for fans of Claire Keegan’s Small Things Like These and Colson Whitehead’s The Nickel Boys.

The year is 1993. In a collapsing post-Soviet mining town, a former serviceman, Vasily Mikhailovich, accepts work as the director of a remote juvenile prison colony. Determined to bring order and empathy to a brutal system, he starts a rehabilitation program for the young boys. But he is soon thwarted by the corruption around him; as he watches the people nearby prosper through deceit and cruelty, he is forced to make a choice: to uphold his principles and risk everything, or surrender them to save his family.

Going to Zossen achieves almost surgical precision in its depiction of the brutal wave of mass child homelessness that swept through Russia after the fall of the USSR – a collapse that produced up to four million “street children,” the quickest deterioration of living standards to happen in any country during peacetime.
