Fear on the Phantom Special
Fear on the Phantom Special: Dark deeds for the Railway Detective to investigate | Edward Marston
6 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Halloween, 1861. A special train with two carriages steams across the Lake District at night on its way to a place notorious for its record of supernatural incidents. Most of those on board have been fortified by alcohol so the mood is boisterous. Without warning the lamp goes out in the last compartment of the second carriage, plunging it into darkness. When the train reaches the end of the line, the passengers pour out on to the station platform. There are almost sixty of them in all, laughing and jostling, but the prevailing excitement is shattered by a cry for help – someone is missing. Inspector Colbeck and Sergeant Leeming are called in to investigate this peculiar occurrence. With some believing the missing man is the victim of a ghost said to haunt the site and no discernible trace of the man anywhere to be seen, this will prove to be a puzzling case indeed for the Railway Detective.

Starting off with a disappearance rather than the usual murder or train crash the Railway detective and his sergeant are called to Lake District to take charge of the investigation. Back in London, Colbeck's Father in Law has a medal stolen and it is there that the family investigates the loss as an interlude to the main case.
In the Lakes it is only in the latter stages that you find out if an actual crime has been committed. An enthralling read.

A fun mystery on the trains. This was interesting but the final climax was a bit quick. I like the addition of the mini mystery with his wife. #Scarathlon2020

It‘s 1861, we‘re in the Lake District and on Halloween night a young man disappears mysteriously whilst on an Excursion on the Phantom Special. What do you do, of course send for the famous Railway Detective Robert Colbeck.
