The body of a man is quickly found on the route, and Dorothy feels compelled to investigate. Who was he? Was he alive or dead when he fell? Could his fate be linked to a confrontation on the train? As Dorothy and Alan unravel the secrets surrounding the dead man, they uncover disturbingly dark truths . . .
