Beschreibung

<p><b>First published in 1937, a Golden Age classic murder mystery set on a cross-country train.</b><br><br>'A <b>highly ingenious</b>, <b>entertaining and unusual</b> tale' - <i>Daily Herald</i><br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>'<b>Ingenious</b> . . . A <b>satisfyingly complex </b>solution to both crimes' - <i>Booklist</i> <br><br>'<b>Extravagantly brainy</b>, gloriously dated' - <i>Kirkus</i></p>
