Beth Wilson's night just got a whole lot worse. Having made the journey into the centre of London for an overnight shift, she finds that the entire building is off-limits due to a police investigation. Her only option is to turn around and get back on the bus.
But this is no ordinary night. And this is no ordinary bus journey.
As she makes her way south through the city, Beth starts to notice something a little 'off' about some of her fellow passengers. Unable to shake the sense that she's being followed, she tries different seats. Meanwhile the bus keeps stopping along its route, picking up even stranger passengers. Soon the entire journey feels like a trip into the darkest reaches of a nightmare.
The only person who seems able to help Beth is the driver, but he's apparently oblivious to the strangeness that seems to be taking over the bus seat by seat. Soon a slow-motion horror is set in motion, one that Beth can't escape. What is really wrong with the bus? What will happen when it reaches its destination? And were all its passengers doomed from the moment they got onboard?
2am is the seventh book in the Haunting of London series, a collection of stand-alone but loosely linked horror stories set over the course of one ghostly twenty-four-hour period in the city.
