Europe in the 1930s. A dangerous place to be.

As the Orient Express weaves its way through snow towards Constantinople, a motley group of people find themselves threatened by intrigue, skulduggery and murderous politics.

It is a heady cocktail of wit, adventure, mystery, interrogations, scamming, shoot-outs and sexual intrigue.

Graham Greene's tense thriller novel, first published in 1932.

Greene admitted, in 1974, that he wrote it to make a bit of money. "In Stamboul Train for the first and last time in my life I deliberately set out to write a book to please, one which with luck might be made into a film. The devil looks after his own and I succeeded in both aims"
