520    December 1864. As a cold winter wind scours the 
       Worcestershire countryside, an excursion train comes 
       through a tunnel in the Malvern Hills, only to be 
       confronted by a blockage on the line ahead. The driver 
       manages to slow the train down so that the impact is 
       minimised, but the passengers are alarmed. The first 
       person to alight is Cyril Hubbleday, the man in charge of 
       the excursion. He walks to the front of the locomotive - 
       and, as he is talking to the driver, fireman and guard, he
       is shot dead by a sniper. With Christmas around the corner,
       Inspector Robert Colbeck and Sergeant Victor Leeming are 
       under pressure to solve the case quickly. However, between
       enemies in the shadows and an investigation hampered by 
       heavy snow, their hunt for a cold-blooded killer is far 
       from straightforward.
