Omschrijving

A Sherlock Holmes Escape Book: Adventure of the Train of the Dead is a unique form of puzzle book, in which the reader must solve the riddles to escape the pages.

The sixth title in this ingenious series of Sherlock Holmes Escape Books, The Adventure of the Train of the Dead is an exhilarating combination of escape room, puzzle book and adventure story. Readers will take on the role of the world's foremost consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes, as he embarks on a journey full of twists and turns.

Colonel Lysander Stark is a ruthless gang-leader who was running a counterfeiting operation in the City of London until he and his gang were captured by the police. Of course, the raid was made thanks to the intervention of Sherlock Holmes. However, shortly after his capture and subsequent sentencing, the Colonel escapes from prison.

A month later, an unusual series of unaccompanied passengers -- in coffins, with one-way tickets -- ride on the Necropolis Railway to be buried at Brookwood Cemetery in London: the first is a John A. Watson, two days later a John B. Watson, and some days after that a John C. Watson. Whose bodies are in the coffins? Who is buying their tickets? Can you, as Holmes, solve the mystery before your loyal companion John H. Watson is riding on the train of the dead?

Culminating in the huge London Necropolis, the adventure finds you solving puzzles set as a deadly challenge by the vindictive and embittered Colonel Stark. Can you solve the puzzles and save your one and only friend from a terrible ending?
