"As the Orient Express hurtles across Europe on its three-day journey from Ostend to Constantinople, the driven lives of several of its passengers become bound together in a fateful interlock. The menagerie of characters include Coral Musker, a beautiful chorus girl; Carleton Myatt, a rich Jewish businessman; Richard John, a mysterious and kind doctor returning to his native Belgrade; the spiteful journalist Mabel Warren; and Josef Grünlich, a cunning burglar.

What happens to these strangers as they put on and take off their masks of identity and passion, all the while confessing, prevaricating, and reaching out to one another in the "veracious air" of the onrushing train, makes for one of Graham Greene's most exciting and suspenseful stories. Originally published in 1932, Stamboul Train was Greene's first major success." (Goodreads)

The book was renamed Orient Express when it was published in the United States.

I have not read any of Graham Greene's books before, and this was an easy place to start I think. The author has labelled it "An Entertainment", not a novel or some such.
It is entertaining: a group of people become involved with each other during a long train ride. Bit by bit their personalities and motives for the travel are revealed, and Greene builds up tension that held my interest until the end.

The book is ready to go to the winner/decoy of the Global Sweepstakes. Congratulations, enjoy your travel!
