In this chilling selection of stories, a young porter is found dead in a coal tub. Colbeck devises a trap to catch a thief and a burnt train carriage holds a gruesome secret in a small country village. As Colbeck and his trusty aid Victor Leeming begin to piece together clues and motives for each crime, it becomes clear the pair must stay a step ahead of the culprits to solve the cases. With a new suspect at every turn, can the duo unearth the real villains?

Thirteen tales from the Railway Detective - I pretty much read one a night before settling down to sleep and I think I enjoyed the final tale the best as the perpetrator was a real surprise for me.
