The Knight's Cross Signal Problem

When a deadly railway collision leaves behind conflicting testimony and impossible evidence, the brilliant blind detective Max Carrados is drawn into one of his most challenging investigations. Every witness insists they saw the truth, yet no two accounts agree. With only his extraordinary senses, relentless logic, and the assistance of his friend Louis Carlyle, Carrados begins to unravel a mystery hidden beneath steam, steel, and carefully constructed lies. As the investigation moves through Cape Town's sprawling railway network, towering steam-powered infrastructure, and industrial streets, overlooked details expose a conspiracy driven by greed, betrayal, and murder. Every discovery draws Carrados closer to a truth someone is willing to kill to protect, while every deduction tests his remarkable ability to perceive what others overlook. Faithful to the spirit of Ernest Bramah's original mystery while transforming its setting into a richly imagined South African steampunk world, Max Carrados: The Knight's Cross Signal Problem blends classic detective fiction with alternate history, intricate deduction, and atmospheric adventure. Whether you are discovering Max Carrados for the first time or returning to one of his greatest cases, this adaptation offers a fresh interpretation of a timeless mystery.
