Description
A special anniversary edition of the story that started it all
In Eric Wilson’s internationally bestselling debut novel, the agonizing sound of a woman’s scream hurls young Tom Austen into the middle of a murder plot on board the sleek passenger train The Canadian. Who is responsible for the death of lovely Catherine Saks? As Tom investigates the strange collection of travellers who share Car 165, he gets closer and closer to the truth . . . But Tom’s own life is put in danger when the real killer confronts him in this speeding plot.
To commemorate 40 years in print, this classic Canadian adventure novel has been reissued with a brand new look.
About the author
ERIC WILSON identified a need for stories to excite kids about reading as a young teacher in British Columbia. When the search proved difficult, he began writing books himself, publishing Murder on the Canadian in 1976. Four decades later, there are 22 books in the Eric Wilson Mystery Series, which has been translated into ten languages around the world. He has received many honours including the Queen’s Golden Jubilee medal for inspiring a love of reading and our nation. He lives in Victoria with his wife, Flo.
