Murder and Misconception

First in a cozy mystery series: A railway engineer is riding on borrowed time as he turns amateur sleuth to solve the murder of a colleague.

 


It's a matter of routine for Ben Time, a seasoned locomotive engineer: pull thousands of tons of miscellaneous freight from Indianapolis to St. Louis day and night. But the impatience of an early morning rail yard delay turns to dread when Ben discovers that the train master has been found murdered.


 


All signs point to a fellow engineer who had a knack for antagonizing anyone who stood in his way. Ben included. But Ben also believes the man isn't guilty. Making peace with the prime suspect is only the beginning. Ben also has to clear his name. That means risking his own life to find out who wanted a co-worker dead, and who had the motives for framing an innocent man.
