The Railway Detective
The Railway Detective is an action-packed dip into murky 1850s London. Full of historical detail, unexpected twists and memorable characters, this is a mystery that will surprise you at every turn
London, 1851. The London to Birmingham mail train is robbed and derailed, injuring the driver and others aboard. With the opening of the Great Exhibition at hand, interest is mounting in the engineering triumphs of the railways, but not everyone feels like celebrating.
Planned with military precision, this crime challenges the new Police Force to its limits and leads Detective Inspector Robert Colbeck to discover a tangled web of murder, blackmail, and destruction.
As the momentum gains pace, Colbeck closes in on the criminal masterminds. But just as the police begin to think the villains are within their grasp, events take an unexpected turnβMadeleine Andrews, the beautiful daughter of the injured train driver, becomes an unwilling pawn in the criminals' game.
In a final race against time, good and evil, new and old, are pitted against each other. But will the long arm of the law be quick enough?
The Railway Detective brings a thrilling Victorian-era mystery to life, where the stakes are high, and the pursuit of justice is relentless.
