Description

The man lying in lower ten was on his back, his face illuminated by the early morning sun. But the light had no effect on him. A small red stain marred the front of his pajamas and trailed across the sheet. His half-open eyes stared blankly at the wood above, unseeing.

Washington D.C., 1907. What should have been a quick train trip for attorney Lawrence Blakeley, becomes a nightmare when a man is murdered in the berth that he was assigned to, and - to make things worse - shortly after the discovery, the train is wrecked. Blakeley is forced to solve the murder to prove his innocence, in a tour de force combining breakneck adventure, suspense, horror, mystery and romance, that keeps readers guessing at the edge of their seats.

This new edition of the classic bestseller, The Man in Lower Ten, has been completely re-written so that the style is contemporary and easy-to-read while still preserving Mary Robert Rinehart's distinctive tone. Also included in this edition are short paragraphs at the beginning of chapters that briefly explain any references that might be obscure to modern readers.
