> Who are your fellow passengers - innocent travellers or potential killers? >Was that the sound of the carriage wheels or the noise of a violent struggle? >And was that really the engine's whistle or the death cry of a victim? >What could be more exotic or romantic than the Orient Express or the Train Bleu? Certainly trains have proved an irresistible attraction to some of the world's most famous crime and mystery writers. Who can forget Patricia Highsmith's *Strangers On A Train* or Agatha Christie's classic *Murder On The Orient Express*? >This outstanding collection of tales features such famous writers as Agatha Christie, Ruth Rendell, Roald Dahl, Elmore Leonard, Ken Follett and Dorothy L. Sayers.
