Stockholm Central Station. The image shows a curving segmented wall that comes in from the right of the frame and extends away from us near the left side. The wall carries a very large black and white photograph of the interior of the station in 1943, with ticket offices on the right and doors to the outside in the background and people, mainly wearing hats. The front cover of 'The Stockholm Run' is shown in the bottom left corner.

10/6: How many POV characters? Is that your preferred approach?
Let’s see:
Book 1: 2 POVs
Bk 2: 2 POVs (same as previous)
Bk 3: 2 POVs (1 same, 1 new)
Bk 4: 4 POVs (3 new)
Bk 5: 2 POVs (both new)
Bk 6 (out in August): 1 POV (new)… except for the framing bits
Bk 7 (in preparation): 3 POVs (2 new)
Most of my other writing also features multiple POVs. And I’ve often enjoyed multi-POV books as a reader too, going back at least to Arthur Ransome.
