Description:

A routine overnight train ride turns into a nightmare of suspicion, hidden identities, and murder in this gripping early detective novel by Mary Roberts Rinehart, one of the pioneers of American mystery fiction. When Lawrence Blakely boards a sleeper train expecting nothing more than a quiet journey, he soon finds himself at the center of a shocking crime. A passenger in Lower Ten is found dead, a suitcase vanishes, and a trail of strange coincidences begins to point directly at him. Trapped among strangers, secrets, and shifting alibis, Blakely must untangle the truth before the accusation becomes permanent. First published in 1909, The Man in Lower Ten blends classic suspense, psychological tension, and clever plotting into a fast-moving mystery that still feels surprisingly modern. With its confined setting, unreliable appearances, and constant sense of danger, this novel helped shape the style of detective fiction that would dominate the 20th century. This edition presents the complete unabridged text, carefully prepared for modern listeners and readers, preserving the original atmosphere while ensuring a smooth and immersive experience. Perfect for fans of classic whodunits, vintage suspense, train mysteries, and early detective stories. Duration - 5h 37m. Author - Mary Roberts Rinehart. Narrator - Tracy Peace.
