Railway Detective Omnibus 1-3 by Edward Marston
THREE THRILLING CASES FOR THE RAILWAY DETECTIVE 1851. With the Great Exhibition in the offing, interest is mounting in the icon of modern technological achievement: the railways. But this triumph of Victorian engineering has a darker side too, as these sinews of empire offer new opportunities for hidden crime and quick escape, vast destruction and dark double-dealings. Detective Inspector Robert Colbeck is the Railway Detective. When a train is robbed or a passenger killed, Colbeck and his trusty sergeant Victor Leeming must take to the rails and use their expert knowledge of crime and railways to untangle webs of murder, blackmail and destruction.
'A grand romp very much in the tradition of Holmes and WatsonPacked with characters Dickens would have been proud of. Wonderful, well written' Time Out
