AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An encounter with a stranger, his physical double, on an express train from Paris to Lyon plunges an American silk buyer into a wrongful arrest for murder. Mistaken identity, lack of an alibi, and a severed head conspire against him. He is saved only by the real murderer's confession as he lay dying, mangled from his leap from the train. (PB)
