Beware of the Trains (Classic Crime)

by Edmund Crispin

These sixteen short stories are classic examples of Fen's mastery of his art solving the most insoluble crimes where even the best brains in the police force are frankly baffled. They also allow you to flex your own crime-solving muscles: each story contains all the clues needed to anticipate the outcome, using logic and common sense with a bit of ingenuity thrown in! Do you dare to take them on?
