Dead Man's Tunnel By
Sheldon Russell
 
Rail yard detective Hook Runyon has been reduced to rounding up copper thieves at the salvage yard when he's called to investigate a body found on the tracks. The dead man, a sergeant stationed in the remote but critical Johnson Canyon Rail Tunnel, was killed by an anrushing train. Wanting a quick resolution to avoid the chaos of a total railway shutdown, the government sends Lieutenant Allison Capron to help Hook with the case.
