Book excerpt: THE WRECK OF THE 'CINCY' QUEEN A train derailment in the dead of a summer night in 1948 jolts Sam and Howie into action. They have just christened and dedicated to God their new business, the S and H Detective Agency. Also, Sheriff Neverfine has appointed them the status of Special Deputies. Strangely, the last boxcar on the train was conveying coffins containing the corpses of American soldiers who were casualties of the Battle of the Bulge, fought in 1944. Stranger still is the discovery that one of the corpses is the transport agent for valuable jewels and coins. Then when Sam and Howie discover a jeweled Christian cross lying on the ground near the wreckage the mystery deepens. Will Sam and Howie be able to surmount intrigue, death threats, subterfuge and international conspiracy to solve the Wreck of the Cincy Queen, the latest, fastest most powerful steam locomotive of its time? You will have to read every chapter to find out.
