A short story from the British Library Crime Classic collection Murder by the Book. Bestselling crime author Joseph Newton is on board a train when he meets a man fascinated by the idea of a murder so perfectly simple, it would be impossible to solve. Critical of the elaborate plots in Newton’s novels, the man is keen to demonstrate to the author just how he would carry out the seemingly undetectable crime.
