The train setting was ideal for encasing a wide variety of people in one place, giving them myriad chances for meetings and murder.\" --\u003cem\u003eBooklist\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a dark November evening, Sir Wilfred Saxonby is travelling alone in the 5 o'clock train from Cannon Street, in a locked compartment. The train slows and stops inside a tunnel; and by the time it emerges again minutes later, Sir Wilfred has been shot dead, his heart pierced by a single bullet. Suicide seems to be the answer, even though no reason can be found. Inspector Arnold of Scotland Yard thinks again when he learns that a mysterious red light in the tunnel caused the train to slow down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinding himself stumped by the puzzle, Arnold consults his friend Desmond Merrion, a wealthy amateur expert in criminology. To Merrion it seems that the dead man fell victim to a complex conspiracy--but the investigators are puzzled about the conspirators' motives, as well as their identities. Can there be a connection with Sir Wilfred's seemingly untroubled family life, his highly successful business, or his high-handed and unforgiving personality? And what is the significance of the wallet found on the corpse, and the bank notes that it contained?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Poisoned Pen Press","offers":[{"title":"Death in the Tunnel | Miles Burton | Paperback | 9781464205811 | Used: Like New | Mystery 1740458 (temp: 17)","offer_id":48168857075864,"sku":"1740458","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61oDL2rX3PL.jpg?v=1771980094","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/death-in-the-tunnel","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
