The story of the murder in 1931 of George Ramsay Hext, an officer in the Indian Army, on the "Punjab Mail" - one of India's premier express trains. Politically motivated, the murder was intended to aid the Nationalist movement but served instead the arguments of those who claimed the sub-continent was not yet ready for independence. The murder was noted not only for its savagery but for the extraordinary sequence of events which followed.
