The Man in Lower Ten - Modern Reader Edition, (Paperback)

The man lying in lower ten was on his back, his face illuminated by the early morning sun. But the light had no effect on him. A small red stain marred the front of his pajamas and trailed across the sheet. His half-open eyes stared blankly at the wood above, unseeing.



Washington D.C., 1907. What should have been a quick train trip for attorney Lawrence Blakeley, becomes a nightmare when a man is murdered in the berth that he was assigned to, and - to make things worse - shortly after the discovery, the train is wrecked. Blakeley is forced to solve the murder to prove his innocence, in a tour de force combining breakneck adventure, suspense, horror, mystery and romance, that keeps readers guessing at the edge of their seats.
