Dearest Friends and Family,
You are cordially invited to the retirement party of one of the most famous jazz pianists of the 1930s. Miles Bishop has decided it’s finally time to turn in the ivories and settle into a quieter life. But before he does, he plans to go out in style with a private ride aboard the historic Strasburg Rail Road — an evening filled with music, laughter, and old friends.
Unfortunately… things don’t go quite as planned.
When the celebration takes a deadly turn, Detective Sterling Hawthorn must unravel the truth behind a life of fame and fortune as the train winds through the countryside. Success often comes at a cost — and it seems Miles Bishop may have left more than a few broken relationships in his wake.
Was it the high-powered agent? The famous singer? A jealous friend? Or even the barman? On this train, anyone could be the killer.
Can Detective Hawthorn solve the mystery before the final stop — and before the guests miss their night at the theatre?
Climb aboard for this thrilling 45-minute murder mystery experience, only at the Strasburg Rail Road.
