First published in 1937, a Golden Age classic murder mystery set on a cross-country train.
`A highly ingenious, entertaining and unusual tale` – Daily Herald
The luxurious Transcontinental Express, a locomotive journeying coast-to-coast across the United States, is the height of 1930s technology and sophistication. Alongside carriages for dining, drinking and dancing, there`s even a swimming pool car. And it`s there, just one day into the journey, that the corpse of a banker is found.
With a killer on the train, the passengers soon begin to turn on one another. It's up to the clever Dr Pons – with his sharp wit and knack for impossible puzzles – to get to the bottom of the case, even as every new piece of evidence seems to suggest more perplexing possibilities.
`Ingenious . . . A satisfyingly complex solution to both crimes` – Booklist `
Extravagantly brainy, gloriously dated` – Kirkus
