'Never had I been given a tougher problem to solve, and never had I
been so utterly at my wits' end for a solution.' A signalman is
found dead by a railway tunnel. A man identifies his wife as a
victim of murder on the underground. Two passengers mysteriously
disappear between stations, leaving behind a dead body. Trains have
been a favourite setting of many crime writers, providing the
mobile equivalent of the 'locked-room' scenario. Their enclosed
carriages with a limited number of suspects lend themselves to
seemingly impossible crimes. In an era of cancellations and delays,
alibis reliant upon a timely train service no longer ring true, yet
the railway detective has enjoyed a resurgence of popularity in the
twenty-first century. Both train buffs and crime fans will delight
in this selection of fifteen railway-themed mysteries, featuring
some of the most popular authors of their day alongside less
familiar names. This is a collection to beguile even the most
wearisome commuter.
