About this product

Product Information

London, 1851. The London to Birmingham mail train is robbed and derailed, injuring the driver and others aboard. With the opening of the Great Exhibition at hand, interest is mounting in the engineering triumphs of the railways, but not everyone feels like celebrating. Planned with military precision, this crime challenges the new Police Force to its limits and leads Detective Inspector Robert Colbeck to discover a tangled web of murder, blackmail and destruction. As the momentum gains pace, Colbeck closes in on the criminal masterminds. But just as the police begin to think the villains are within their grasp, events take an unexpected turn - Madeleine Andrews, the beautiful daughter of the injured train driver, becomes an unwilling pawn in the criminals' game. In a final race against time, good and evil, new and old, are pitted against each other. But will the long arm of the law be quick enough?

The first great train robbery.
A Sherlock Holmes type of Victorian crime novel. A gentleman police inspector in the early days of a detective section, no DNA. Good railway knowledge to set the scene of the original great train robbery.

Intriguing Victorian mystery.
This is an entertaining Victorian mystery and adventure. The characters are well drawn and the pace is quick from the start. Especially fun for the railway enthusiast and lover of steam trains. Historically accurate, suspenseful and interesting read. A good start to the series. Looking forward to reading the rest. Recommended.

Brilliant. True to life detective with Victorian atmosphere.
Excellent read and very enjoyable. Read the second and 3rd in the series before this one and it was great. Really recommend to avoid readers.

This book introduces us to DI Colbeck. It is the first of a collection of 4 railway novels by Edward Marston. A delightful introduction to "gentler times" and the beginnings of the dective arm of the Metrolpolitan Police. It faifhully recreates the change from horse drawn to steam transport and draws you into that era. You should be transported back to Victoria times in a flash. He cleverly weaves a tale of murder, revenge & romance. It is a real page turner and leaves one wanting more. I wish there were more in the series.This book introduces us to DI Colbeck.
