Shroud of Darkness
E C R LoracThey were five strangers on a fogbound train—
a psychiatrist’s pretty secretary,
an agitated young man,
a tweedy lady with a deep voice,
a stockbrokerish businessman,
and an eel-like “spiv.”
One was brutally attacked in the choking
black fog at Paddington Station.
Attempted murder became bona fide manslaughter,
and examination of the intimate lives
of the passengers involved Chief Inspector Macdonald
in a macabre game of hide-and-seek
in which one man had tried to find his identity,
and another was ready to kill to preserve
the shroud of darkness that obscured his.
