Overview

All aboard the Flying Scotsman for murder, intrigue, and railway history's most thrilling journey... When Edinburgh businessman Michael Evans boards the legendary Flying Scotsman for its record-breaking speed attempt between London and Edinburgh in 1930s Britain, he expects nothing more than an uncomfortable encounter with his long-time rival, industrialist Victor Harrington. But when Harrington proposes a business merger over champagne in the train's opulent dining car, then dramatically collapses dead from poison moments later, Evans finds himself the prime suspect in a murder investigation that unfolds at 100 miles per hour. With less than five hours before the train reaches Edinburgh-where police wait to arrest him-Evans must unravel a web of motives, secrets, and lies among his fellow first-class passengers. Could it be Harrington's nervous secretary, who knows more about his employer than he admits? The mysterious woman in mourning with a personal vendetta? The obsequious waiter with a hidden past? Or the rival industrialist with everything to gain from Harrington's demise? As the Flying Scotsman thunders north through the British countryside, breaking speed records while carrying a killer in its luxurious carriages, Evans races against time to clear his name and uncover the truth behind the specially commissioned crystal champagne glasses that hold the key to the murder..
