Victor Lorenzo Whitechurch's most famous novel, first published in 1912.

Adapted by Fiona Kelcher.
Read by Benedict Cumberbatch.
Thorpe is an eccentric and is in many ways a man before his time: a vegetarian and health fanatic using his encyclopaedic railway knowledge to tackle Britain's most ingenious smugglings, thefts, kidnaps and murders. A man of independent means, he thrives on working to his own whims - and operating outside the law when it suits him.
