Jacques Futrelle, author of the popular "Thinking Machine" mysteries, is asked to use his knowledge of criminology to conduct a quiet investigation.

Accompanied by his intrepid wife, May, Futrelle pursues leads all over the palatial ship in what would prove to be his greatest and final mystery. Once again, author Max Allan Collins creates an astonishing work of historical fiction in this vivid, enthralling account of the Titanic s fateful passage."

#sos Any book about the Titanic always has an SOS theme, even more so when there is a murderer loose on the Titanic. This was an enjoyable book, although it did take a while to get going as the feel for being on the Titanic was developed. As the book went on though it did fully engage me and I enjoyed the writing style. Quite a quick read.

CrowCAH Yes, the most fitting SOS out there, if only the ship would have sent out the signal, instead of letting personal messages through, more lives could have been saved. 7y

I have always enjoyed things about Titanic, whether it be documentaries, TV shows/movies, or fictional stories though I haven't read too many. This was just the right amount of mystery interwoven with the feel of what it was like to be a passenger on this ship. This book does take a while to get to the mystery aspect of the story, but I didn't mind that. The Epilogue and Author's Notes at the end were very interesting and enlightening.
