  "description": "Thorpe Hazell, the first 'Railway detective'… and other stories A must-read for railfans, these stories integrally feature the railways (way before modern trains and computers) that will draw one to the magical world of locomotives, signals, changing points – but all the while with crime happening around them. In 'The Affair of the German Dispatch-Box', Hazell has to come up with a daring plan to retrieve a secret government document before it reaches the German Ambassador. In 'Sir Gilbert Murrell's Picture' an entire wagon with valuable paintings disappears from a goods train, and Hazell has to solve the crime. In 'The Affair of the Corridor Express', a multimillionaire's son is kidnapped from a moving train. In 'The Stolen Necklace', a diamond necklace is stolen and must be found. In 'The Affair of the Birmingham Bank', Hazell must guard gold reserves on a train against train robbery. \" The first 'specialty detective'.\" –Ellery Queen on Thorpe Hazell",
