Synopsis

END OF THE LINEFarrel and Saunders, two railway cops, couldn’t be more different. Farrel, the older bull, remembers the Lobo Tunnel wreck all too well. Saunders, young and inexperienced, figures that there is nothing left to learn about the six-year-old case. But their boss figures otherwise, and sends them out to dig up new evidence. Which is how they find themselves chasing down some of the accident victims who benefited the most.There’s the blind physicist—did he really lose his sight in the wreck? And the crippled ballerina—she and her husband built a ranch with their settlement money, but did she really lose the use of her legs? And the former train conductor—why, after all this time, is he sending his teenage daughter on crazy wild-goose-chases to collect on an old debt? Saunders figures that they’re chasing old leads for nothing, but Farrel has always thought that something didn’t add up here. And now they’re in a small desert town at the end of the line—on an old trail that leads right back to the beginning.

About the Author

Julia Clara Catherine Maria Dolores Robins Norton Birk Olsen Hitchens, better known to mystery fans as Dolores Hitchens, was born December 25, 1907 in San Antonio, Texas. She married Beverley S. Olsen, a radio operator on a merchant vessel, around 1934. Beginning in 1938, Dolores wrote a series of mysteries as D. B. Olsen. It is not known whether she divorced Olsen or was widowed, but she was re-married to Hubert A. Hitchens by the early 1940s. After her marriage to Bert who was a railway detective they collaborated on a series of five railroad mysteries from 1957 to 1964. Dolores also wrote an excellent group of standalone mysteries, including Fool s Gold which was filmed by Jean-Luc Godard as Band of Outsiders in 1964, as well as the critically applauded Sleep With Strangers and Sleep With Slander. She passed away on August 1, 1973 in Orange County, California, followed by Hubert in Riverside County in 1979.
