Attorney Marc Jordan is suspicious of a tragic accident when bride-to-be Dolly dies at a railroad crossing the night before she is due to be married. The police are dismissive of the circumstantial evidence that Jordan presents, but events heat up when someone fires a shot at another member of Dolly's family. Jordan investigates on behalf of the railroad, and finds himself racing to unravel a deadly plot. The Case of the Six Bullets was published in 1949.

Every railroad man knows that trouble comes in threes. Baxter, the engineer on passenger train Number 61, reflected on two near-catastrophes-the brake-man who had stepped in front of a yard engine; and the narrowly avoided collision-and wondered what would happen next. A number of possibilities suggested themselves, but he did not foresee murder.Actually, the bloodstained axe which was the murder weapon was found on the tracks by a signal maintainer before the corpse was discovered. Only a few minutes later, the brutally mutilated body of Mr. Richards, president of the railroad, caused a wave of dismay to sweep over the passengers of train 61.Luckily Marc Jordan, an attorney who knew railroading, was on hand, and was able not only to avert a panic but also to help the police solve the crime.The Railroad Murder Case was published in 1948.
