A passenger train derails in an Oklahoma town during the 1930 DustBowl and the hospital is taken over with the dead and maimed. Etha, the wife of Sheriff Temple Jennings is seriously wounded. The sheriff is now in charge of investigating the derailment which rapidly develops into a case of sabotage. The following night, a local woman is murdered.

EadieB Temple has a hunch that the death is connected to the train wreck. Will the sheriff be able to find out who derailed the train? Is the murder victim related to the derailment?
Sheriff Temple Jennings is assisted in the investigation of the derailment by Claude Steele, a railroad detective. Etha was coming home from visiting relatives and was caught in the derailment.

EadieB There was a whole carload of blacks in the first car that were killed because their car was made of wood and the other train cars were made of steel. I really enjoyed this book as it was very interesting. The murderer and train derailment were solved in the end. I would like to read the next book in this series as the historical mystery surrounding the Dust Bowl is brought to life. 2y
EadieB I would like to thank Akashic Books and LibraryThing for a free book for an honest review. 2y
