C. Daly King: Obelists En Route, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The discovery of a body turns a cross-country train journey into a hunt for a killer in this classic Golden Age locked-room mystery.

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 - which is precisely where the corpse of a banker is found floating facedown just one day into the journey.

With nowhere to hide, any passenger could be next, and anyone could be the killer. With time running out, 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, before it is too late.
