The Lost Special is a mystery novel written by Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. The story revolves around the disappearance of a train called The Lost Special which was carrying a valuable cargo. The train vanishes without a trace, leaving no clues or evidence behind. The case is taken up by a detective named Thorpe, who is assisted by his friend, a journalist named Mr. Merrivale. Together, they embark on a journey to unravel the mystery behind the missing train. As they delve deeper into the investigation, they encounter a number of suspects, including the train's engineer, the station master, and a group of thieves. The plot thickens as they uncover a conspiracy involving the theft of the valuable cargo, and the true motive behind the disappearance of the train. The Lost Special is a gripping tale of intrigue, suspense, and deception, written in Doyle's signature style. It is a must-read for fans of mystery and detective fiction, and a testament to the author's skill as a master storyteller.All argument failed to overcome his ungracious objections, and finally the plan had to be abandoned. Mr. Horace Moore left the station in great distress, after learning that his only course was to take the ordinary slow train which leaves Liverpool at six o'clock. At four thirty-one exactly by the station clock the special train, containing the crippled Monsieur Caratal and his gigantic companion, steamed out of the Liverpool station. The line was at that time clear, and there should have been no stoppage before Manchester.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
