A corpse in a railway carriage, a baffling question of identity, and a mystery that demands the cold precision of Dr. Lancelot Priestley.
When a man is found dead in a first-class carriage at Paddington Station, the case appears strange from the beginning. Who was the victim? How did he die? Why was he travelling under such peculiar circumstances? The police investigation soon moves through false names, suspicious movements, hidden motives, and the problem of reconstructing a crime that seems almost impossible in its details.
First published in 1925, The Paddington Mystery introduced Dr. Lancelot Priestley, the scientific and methodical detective who would become one of the long-running figures of Golden Age British mystery fiction. John Rhode builds the novel around puzzle, procedure, timing, evidence, and deduction, giving readers the kind of carefully constructed mystery that made the interwar detective novel a lasting pleasure.
This Positronic Publishing edition is suited to readers of classic British mysteries, Golden Age detective fiction, railway mysteries, impossible-crime puzzles, and the early adventures of Dr. Lancelot Priestley.
