The Great Train Robbery

One of Crichton's best. This guy can turn a story. He takes a real life story and makes it into a period setting of the 1850's in London thrilling page turner about one of the largest gold robberies in the history of England. I loved the research he must have done to keep it on track for the language of that period.

BTW, if you catch anyone in the pull of hoof snaffling tell a crusher.
