AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'WHEN Bert Gavin decided to murder his wife, Alice, he planned the perfect alibi. It all seemed so simple ... he could leave his machine so no one would know he had been absent from work. From experience he knew that the regular travellers on the train wouldn’t notice him. It was plain sailing until fate took a hand and Bert found himself desperately trying to break his own alibi or suffer for a murder he did not commit.'
