The Ghost Train

More about the book

Mystery/Thriller Arnold Ridley Characters: 7 male, 4 female Interior Set A long running success in London and on Broadway and packed with thrills, chills and laughter. In a remote Cornish station there's a legend of a phantom locomotive sweeping through the village leaving death in its wake. Smugglers use this and the villagers' superstition to their advantage but a not-as-incompetent-as-he-seems detective clears up the mystery of the spectre and attendant deaths. His seemingly silly actions result in the apprehension of the evildoers and the little village and its station are finally at peace. For sheer, creeping mystery, it's a play without a peer.
