London, 1851. As excitement builds for the Great Exhibition, an audacious attack on the London to Birmingham mail train leaves devastation in its wake. The crime's military precision draws Detective Inspector Robert Colbeck into a deadly investigation rife with murder and blackmail. When Madeleine, daughter of the injured train driver, becomes trapped in the criminals' conspiracy, Colbeck must race against time to stop those behind the attack.
Atmospheric, suspenseful and rich in Victorian detail, The Railway Detective is a gripping mystery where progress, power and justice collide on the tracks of a rapidly changing Britain.
Edward Marston has written well over a hundred books, including some non-fiction. He is best known for his hugely successful Railway Detective series and he also writes the Bow Street Rivals series featuring twin detectives set during the Regency; the Home Front Detective novels set during the First World War; and the Ocean Liner mysteries.
