About this book
The Great Train Robbery by Crichton, Michael. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780061706493.
Lavish wealth and appalling poverty live side by side in Victorian Londonand Edward Pierce easily navigates both worlds. Rich, handsome, and ingenious, he charms the citys most prominent citizens even as he plots the crime of his century, the daring theft of a fortune in gold. But even Pierce could not predict the consequences of an extraordinary robbery that targets the pride of Englands industrial era: the mighty steam locomotive. Based on remarkable fact, and alive with the gripping suspense, surprise, and authenticity that are his trademarks, Michael Crichtons classic adventure is a breathtaking thrill-ride that races along tracks of steel at breakneck speed.
