About this book

"The Treasure-Train" by Arthur B. Reeve is a thrilling detective novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story is centered around a suspicious occurrence involving the treasurer of the Continental Express Company, Granville Barnes, who has fallen gravely ill under mysterious circumstances that seem to link back to a high-stakes gold shipment. The narrative follows the determined Craig Kennedy, a detective with a penchant for scientific methods, as he investigates the possible connection between Barnes's condition and questionable conversations overheard by Maude Euston, his daughter. At the start of the book, Maude Euston visits Craig Kennedy in his laboratory, sharing her concerns about eerie discussions she overheard regarding her father's company and the sudden affliction endured by Barnes. Together with Kennedy's companion, they delve into the investigation, uncovering layers of intrigue involving potential sabotage, poisoned air, and possible motives related to corporate espionage. The opening sets a gripping tone, blending elements of romance and intrigue as Maude expresses her desire to protect her father's interests while grappling with her affections for the key players involved. The narrative quickly unfolds, inviting readers to join in the unraveling mystery shrouded in deception and danger.
