"That man's dead " When a passenger on President Roosevelt's campaign train is found dead, there is no shortage of suspects. He has offended almost everyone on board, and some of those who knew him before the train left the station in Washington had private grudges as well. Even Missy LeHand, the president's loyal secretary, is a suspect, along with Hollywood reporter Joan Roswell, who has finagled a last-minute berth on the train. Add in financier Joseph P. Kennedy, actor Edward G. Robinson, and a host of reporters, aides, and hangers-on, and the investigating state police captain, assisted by the FBI's Corey Wainwright, have their hands full. If you love a good story set on a train, you'll love this caper with its tips of the hat to Murder on the Orient Express, From Russia with Love, North by Northwest and even Silver Streak.
