Crime writer Ernest Cunningham finds himself on a luxury train journey through the Australien outback, surrounded by fellow authors, critics, and publishing industry figures. The trip is meant to be a celebration of crime fiction, but when murder occurs aboard the Ghan, it quickly turns into a real-life whodunit. With the train sealed off from the outside world, everyone becomes both a suspect and a potential detective, forcing Ernest to use his storytelling instincts to unravel the mystery before the killer strikes again. Blending classic locked-room mystery elements with sharp satire, the novel playfully critiques the world of publishing, exploring themes of plagiarism, rivalry, and the nature of storytelling itself. As Ernest navigates shifting alibis, literary egos, and unreliable narratives, he must separate fiction from reality to uncover the truth - before he becomes the next victim.
