The Reverend Victor L. Whitechurch was both a popular fiction writer and a railroad enthusiast, so it is no surprise that he created Thorpe Hazell, an eccentric but successful amateur railway detective who solved both crimes and puzzles. All nine of the Thorpe Hazell mysteries are included here, along with nineteen further tales of mystery and adventure (most also having to do with the railways).--publisher.
