The Rome Express

Beschreibung

The Rome Express is a mystery novel written by Arthur Griffiths. The story takes place on a train traveling from Paris to Rome. The train is carrying a variety of passengers, each with their own secrets and motives. Among them is a wealthy American businessman, a beautiful young woman, a British doctor, a mysterious Russian, and a French detective. When a murder occurs on the train, the detective must work to solve the case before they reach their destination. The investigation reveals a web of lies and deceit among the passengers, and the detective must use all of his skills to uncover the truth. 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.

Arthur George Frederick Griffiths was born on December 9, 1838, in Pune. He came from a background that combined military tradition and intellectual pursuit, which strongly influenced the course of his life and career. Over time, he became widely recognized not only as a British military officer but also as a prison administrator and a prolific author. His career in the military provided firsthand experience that enriched his historical and analytical writing. Griffiths was especially known for his extensive documentation of 19th-century conflicts, providing detailed and critical perspectives on major military campaigns of the period. His position as a military correspondent for The Times allowed him to observe and interpret key events with authority and clarity. Beyond battlefield history, his work as a prison inspector informed his publications on criminal justice and prison reform, reflecting a broader engagement with institutional systems. He died on March 24, 1908, in Beaulieu, United Kingdom. Through his dual focus on military history and institutional life, he left behind a comprehensive body of work that captured the structures shaping society in his time.
