The Last Express
It's 1914. The world is on the brink of war, and this train could push it over the edge. You are Robert Cath, an American urgently summoned by your old friend Tyler Whitney to join him aboard the Paris-Constantinople express, departing 24 July. Arriving late, you discover something has gone terribly wrong. Now you must untangle a complex web of political intrigue, suspense, romance, and betrayal. Every move you make could bring you closer to the truth... or your own demise. Bon voyage.
