A disturbing chain of murder and revenge erupts after the discovery of the diary of a dead teenage girl

This crime thriller set among the Russian mafia in London features one night shot of a Class 319 EMU crossing the bridge over Surrey Row in London SE1. In addition to this, there is an opening shot of Cannon Street station as viewed from Southwark Bridge, and a Class 465 ‘Networker’ EMU can be seen in the platforms.

The unmistakable twin towers of Cannon Street station stand out against a backdrop of a clear blue sky. A Class 465 EMU can be seen poking out from beneath the station roof.
This is Surrey Row with Pakeman House on the right. A Class 319 is coming into view as it crosses the viaduct arches behind.
