Mystery crime fiction written in the Golden Age of Murder "This offering in the British Library Crime Classics series is part of a popular subgenre of the time, called the 'railway murder mystery.' The train setting was ideal for encasing a wide variety of people in one place, giving them myriad chances for meetings and murder." —Booklist On 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. Finding 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?

Radu Cinamar stunned the world when he announced the greatest archeological find of all time in his first book, Transylvanian Sunrise, which revealed a hidden chamber some 50,000 years old beneath the Romanian Sphinx in the Bucegi Mountains. This chamber includes holographic technology with a visual data bank of infinite DNA permutations in additon to three tunnels: one leading to the inner earth, one to Tibet and one to Egypt. In Mystery of Egypt, Radu is part of an expedition to explore the tunnel to Egypt where they encounter ancient artifacts that look more futuristic than they do ancient. It is a detailed account of a remarkable adventure that includes further interactions with Cezar Brad, the head of Romanian Intelligence's Department Zero, and Elinor, the enigmatic alchemist. While these claims are more than controversial, Cezar ignites further controversy when he shares some of his experiences since their last meeting. An amazing follow-up to Radu's second book, Transylva.
