The Barton Tunnel Mystery - A Sexton Blake Adventure

Hal Meredith

Sinopse

Barton Tunnel is some six miles from Merriton on a small single-line railway linking up Merriton with the main system, which it joins at Fulchurch Junction. There is a train which leaves Merriton at 4.20 p.m. and arrives at Fulchurch at 4.40. When it drew into that station yesterday afternoon, a guard, on opening the door of a first-class smoker, was horrified to discover the body of a well-dressed, middle-aged man lying in a huddled heap on the floor near the farther door, the window of which was down. Sexton Blake investigates.

But when Gareth Clayburn, assistant to stage medium Justin Bannerman, is found dead in identical circumstances, Murrain begins to suspect the murders are linked. Meanwhile, Geoff Nolan, television personality and professor of psychology, is developing a new series exploring the psychology of the paranormal. Starting with Bannerman's work as a supposed spiritualist. When Murrain receives an unexpected approach from the security services, he realises that the links between the killings lie deep in Murrain's own past and his own paranormal gifts. After days of rain and with floodwaters rising. Murrain finds himself in a race against time to prevent further deaths. In a shattering climax at Nolan's riverside home, Murrain finally comes face to face with an adversary who shares his remarkable gifts, as the book races to its dramatic and potentially tragic climax.
