Peril On The Royal Train

The route of the Caledonian Railway through the Scottish countryside is disrupted by a fatal crash. Inspector Robert Colbeck and Sergeant Victor Leeming are called from the crime of London to investigate and must contend with the old enemy Superintendent Rory McTurk to uncover the criminals behind the disaster. The motive for the crash is unclear with suspects including the North British Railway a group of sabbatarians and those with vendettas to enact. Colbeck and Leeming face further obstacles when the Railway announces a reward of œ400 for information - soon they are pitched against criminals and the public in their attempt to solve the case.
