CRICHTON'S HEIST NOVEL
Diverging from his renowned science fiction lean, Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton turns to the Victorian heist world in The Great Train Robbery. Join mastermind Edward Pierce as he plans to rob a train leaving London of all the gold on it. There's just one catch; the gold is in two vaults and each vault has two keys. Based on the first large scale train robbery (1855), Creighton's historical fiction is as thrilling and meticulously researched as his science fiction, solidifying him as an expert in exhilaration across genre.
