The Great K. & A. Robbery

"The Great K. & A. Robbery" by Paul Leicester Ford is a story set in the late 1800s about Dick Gordon, a railroad worker caught up in a daring train robbery that mixes suspense with business secrets, and Dick has to deal with unexpected results that impact his relationships and his job as he is challenged by the crime and its effects on everyone around him. It starts with Dick on a train with passengers such as Miss Cullen, who finds the idea of train robberies interesting, especially as Dick tells different stories about a past robbery on the K. & A. line as the story builds to a holdup that tests Gordon as he faces the outcomes of the robbery and what it means for those involved.
