It was one of the marvels of
1937, the new streamlined train designed by Peter Petulant came to be
known as "The Petulant Express." The train's regular journey
between New York City and Chicago constantly attracted a passenger list of
the rich and famous. And, on this particular journey, they all seemed, by
temperament, to be irritated and angry. Petulant himself was a passenger
on the noteworthy trek, occupying his plush Presidential Car at the rear
of
the train.
Still holding a crystal champagne glass and with his solid silver cigarette case in the pocket of his robe, Petulant appeared to have died without a struggle, the victim of an unexpected attack. With a world poised on the brink of war, who would dare trounce a titan of technology, especially one with the foresight and connections of Petulant? And where would the trail lead that would eventually end up at the feet of a killer? Only effective sleuthing and expert investigative skills would dictate the answers. |
  One
of these suspects is a murderer ...
