Description for THE STATION MASTER by Luisa Buehler: End of the lineTo this day, people in Lisle, Illinois, claim to see the ghost of a station master who suffocated to death when thieves stuffed him into a trunk. Grace Marsden is hoping the local legend will help raise funds for the town's historic train depot. She's organized an auction for a set of locked trunks found in an antiques-store basement -- the contents will be revealed to the winning bidders onstage. But to the crowd's horror, one of the trunks contains the gruesome skeletal remains of a woman.Things only get worse when the locksmith who opened the trunks is killed in a hit-and-run and Grace's husband is arrested. Certain of his innocence, Grace is determined to identify the body in the trunk -- the key to finding a motive. But it's clear that death stalks anyone who gets too close to the truth, and Grace is no exception. Can she follow a decades-old trail of sibling rivalry and cold-blooded murder before a killer gives her a one-way ticket to an early grave? This is #3 in A Grace Marsden Mystery. Show more
