Description
Horror on the Orient Express (1st edition), boxed campaign for Call of Cthulhu 1920s
“Man Dies Three Times in One Night!
A puzzling headline begins a front-page article found in the Times of London. Three men, all identical in identification, were found dead in the same room of the Chelsea Arms. All were dispatched in a similar manner – stabbed through the heart.
Then the home of a valued friend burns to the ground, severely burning him in the process. An odd summons, a surreptitious meeting, and a thousand-mile journey begins on the legendary rail service carrying the investigators to the Gateway of the Orient.
