Kadonnut Pikajuna Y.m. Kertomuksia

Four tales of mystery and menace from the creator of Sherlock Holmes. The collection opens with 'The Lost Express Train,' a labyrinthine story set in motion when a condemned man, hours from the guillotine, makes a shocking confession about a train that vanished into thin air eight years earlier. What follows is a web of deception involving a determined passenger, a bewildered station master, and a crime whose solution lies buried in the French countryside. Also included: a chilling encounter with a supernatural feline in the Brazilian jungle, and other tales that venture into darker territory than Holmes ever trod. Conan Doyle, writing at the height of his powers, demonstrates that his gift for intricate plotting and mounting tension extends well beyond Baker Street. These are stories built for readers who like their puzzles twisted and their resolutions not entirely comfortable.
