Description
In 1861, a shocking robbery takes place on a train, leaving a trail of death and destruction in its wake. The victim, a man working to unify East Anglia's railway networks, is killed in the attack. Inspector Colbeck, the only detective in Britain with the necessary expertise, is brought in to investigate. As Colbeck delves deeper into the case, he must navigate a complex web of motives and suspects. Was the robbery the work of a bungling burglar, a business rival, a disgruntled son, or a jealous lover? The investigation is fraught with uncertainty, and Colbeck must use all his skills to uncover the truth. A gripping mystery set against the backdrop of 19th-century East Anglia, Points of Danger is a tense and suspenseful tale of crime and detection.
