SIX WRITERS. FIVE DETECTIVES. FOUR DAYS. THREE WEAPONS. TWO MURDERS. ONE TRAIN . . .When the Australian Mystery Writers' Society invited me to their crime-writing festival aboard the Ghan, the famous train between Darwin and Adelaide, I was hoping for some inspiration for my second book. Fiction, this time: I needed a break from real people killing each other. Obviously, that didn't pan out.The program is a who's who of crime writing royalty:the debut writer (me!)the forensic science writerthe blockbuster writerthe legal thriller writerthe literary writerthe psychological suspense writer.But when one of us is murdered, six authors quickly turn into five detectives. Together, we should know how to solve a crime.Or commit one . . .But how do you catch a killer, when all your suspects know how to get away with murder?

Ernest Cunningham e nei guai. Dopo essere diventato famoso per aver scritto un true crime sulla sua famiglia una famiglia micidiale: hanno tutti ucciso qualcuno , il suo agente letterario e il suo editore gli chiedono con insistenza un nuovo libro. Ma dove trovare lispirazione, senza che qualcuno ci rimetta la pelle? Loccasione si presenta sotto forma di un invito al Festival Australiano del Giallo. In omaggio ad Assassinio sullOrient Express di Agatha Christie, gli organizzatori hanno deciso di riunire un gruppo di celebri giallisti a bordo del Ghan, il treno che attraversa lAustralia, da Darwin a Adelaide. Durante il viaggio, Ernie avra modo di confrontarsi con i colleghi e forse, chissa, di mettersi finalmente al lavoro. Neanche il tempo di partire che ci scappa il morto. Per deformazione professionale, ciascuno dei giallisti inizia subito a elaborare teorie in base alla propria specializzazione: ce chi procede per deduzione, chi veste i panni del medico legale e chi traccia il profilo psicologico del possibile assassino. A bordo sono tutti sospetti. Sulla carta sanno tutti come ragiona un detective e, prima ancora, come si commette un crimine, ma chi e passato dalla teoria alla pratica? Dopo Tutti nella mia famiglia hanno ucciso qualcuno, Benjamin Stevenson torna con un giallo brillante e ricco di humour, che corre davvero come un treno verso il piu sorprendente dei finali.
