"Eighty-five-year-old Grace Stirling travels to the seaside town of Seabourne in pursuit of the peace she needs to examine her life and to escape the disquieting phone calls she's recently been receiving. Paula, her niece, lives near the railway line that carries nuclear waste through the center of London; she monitors the trains and worries about the future of the dirty post-atomic England in which she lives. Paula and Grace are kept under surveillance by a neurotic private detective, Bruno Janes, who mistakenly thinks they are some sort of national risk."--Library Journal.
