Synopsis

This is the Second Book of the Death in Paris Trilogy
Màiri Maguire is a Scots Irish school teacher who lives in Glasgow and travels all over the world with her work. The series (5 books) is set in the 1970s. In the first book, Màiri is travelling from Glasgow to Paris with her friend Lianna. On the train, Lianna spots Charlie Stout, an Income Tax Inspector who sent her a false, ruinous tax bill. "Let me at him!" Lianna rages "I'll strangle him!" That night, Stout is strangled and his dead body is thrown from the Eiffel Tower. Lianna is the prime suspect. The gendarmes lock her up. In 7 days, Màiri must be in Istanbul. Before she has to leave Paris, can Màiri discover the real murderer and free Lianna? Or must she choose between her friend's freedom and her own livelihood?

In this second book, Màiri is travelling to Istanbul for the start of the school term on the luxurious Istanbul Express. Immediately, she is embroiled in another murder, a classic Locked Room Mystery. It seems quite impossible that the body could turn up where it does, but once again Màiri is equal to the challenge and by the time Major Peverel leaves the train on arrival at Rome, Màiri knows how the murder was performed, why and by whom.
