The Rome Express is a thrilling whodunit that will keep readers guessing until the very end.""I had my suspicions from the first, and I will tell you why. At Laroche the car emptied, as you may have heard; every one except the Countess, at least, went over to the restaurant for early coffee; I with the rest. I was one of the first to finish, and I strolled back to the platform to get a few whiffs of a cigarette. At that moment I saw, or thought I saw, the end of a skirt disappearing into the sleeping-car. I concluded it was this maid, Hortense, who was taking her mistress a cup of coffee. Then my brother came up, we exchanged a few words, and entered the car together.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autorenporträt
Over 60 novels were written and published by British military officer and novelist Arthur George Frederick Griffiths (9 December 1838 - 24 March 1908) throughout his lifetime. Along with being a military historian and former military writer for The Times, he also wrote extensively about the wars of the 19th century. Griffiths, the second son of Lieutenant-Colonel John Griffiths of the 6th Royal Warwickshire regiment, was born on December 9th, 1838 in Poona, India. On February 13, 1855, Arthur Griffiths enlisted in the British Army as an ensign in the 63rd Regiment of Foot following his graduation from King William's College on the Isle of Man. Griffiths, a Crimean War soldier, took part in the Sevastopol siege. He participated in the Battle of Kinbum and was awarded the British Crimea medal. His later descriptions of crime and punishment in England were ""sensational and grotesque,"" meant to pique his Victorian audience's baser interests.
