Mystery Historical
The Baldwin Insane Asylum in Barstow, California, has
recently burned to the gound in an inferno that cost many
inmates their lives and injured scores. Now, Hook Runyon has
been put in charge of security for a train that is to
transport the survivors, alongside the head of the asylum,
Dr. Baldwin, the attending doctor, taciturn Dr. Helms, and a
self-sacrificing nurse named Andrea, to a new location in
Oklahoma. Hook hires a motley crew of WW II veterans to help, and
they set out for the new destination. But things go awry on
the Insane Train, as several inmates and attendants are
found dead, and Dr.Baldwin seems increasingly disoriented
and incapable of running operations. With Andrea's help, Hook begins investigating the suspicious
deaths, and uncovers a trail of revenge that has been a long
time in the planning...by a person as mentally disturbed as
her charges.
