The most widely-read mystery of all time, Murder on the Orient Express is now a major motion picture and everyone has jumped aboard.
Just after midnight, the famous Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift. By morning, the millionaire Samuel Edward Ratchett lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. Without a shred of doubt, one of his fellow passengers is the murderer. With the help of Hercule Poirot—probably the greatest detective in the world—they just may be able to solve the mystery by the time the train rolls into the station.
