In this third book of the middle-grade Adventures on Trains series by
M. G. Leonard and Sam Sedgman, amateur sleuth Hal Beck travels to South
Africa with his uncle to a ride a famous train...and stumbles onto a
murder mystery!
Following his adventure on the California Comet, artist and amateur
sleuth Hal Beck is looking forward to another railway journey with Nat,
his journalist uncle--this time riding the historic Safari Star through
South Africa. Then the already eventful journey becomes even more so
when one of their fellow passengers dies on board!
Accident . . . or murder?
With help from a new friend, Winston (and his mongoose, Chipo), Hal is
determined to figure out if a murder has really taken place and, if so,
who among a long list of suspects is the killer--all before the Safari
Star arrives at its final destination.
