The Crime and the Criminal
Authorship not stated
You are Thomas Tennant, riding the Sunday night train to Victoria, when Ellen Howth blocks your way to confront you about a past your wife Lucy has never heard of. She corners you at the open door as the train rushes on, and when the struggle turns, she falls from the carriage into the dark. A stranger who says he is a private detective meets you on the platform, learns your address, and returns days later with an evening paper and one word: murderer.
