Rod Beacham - The Inter-City Contract

A chess-playing Hungarian, a concert harpist and a septuagenarian lady mountaineer.

These are just some of the travellers on the overnight express from London's King's Cross to Edinburgh.

And then, of course, there's the dead body in the baggage compartment.

Inter-City makes the going's easy is the popular tagline, but will anyone be coming back..?
