Summary Grant Logan and his detective agency partner, 13-year old Ripley Hilliard, are drawn into one of the last, great unsolved mysteries of the twentieth century when Gordon Dubelko, head of skyline Pictures, hires Grant. He wants him to find Sammy Backlin, the author of a book about a thirty-year old train robbery so that Dubelko wants to buy the movie tights. Rip, the real mastermind behind the detective duo, is immediately intrigued. The robbery on board the Goldrail Express is a famous case in which a stash of golf went missing and has never been found although two men were jailed for the theft. Backlin has named the third man who knows where the money is hidden and a number of people will now be on Backlin's trail. Outraged and humiliated at Dubelko's failure to cast him in one of his movies, Logan is persuaded by Rip to swallow his pride. Perhaps Dubelko will be grateful enough to offer him a film role afterward. At Backlin's house the duo encounter two thugs on the same trail and Logan emerges the worse for wear. The following day, when Grant turns up to a real audition for a new film, he is intercepted by another two bully boys an d beaten up. When Rip manages to track down Backlin on a fishing trip, he finds he has led someone else right to their target. The two men who went to prison for the robbery are out and they are also looking for the gold. Rip and Grant save Backlin from kidnap and the author confirms Rip's intuition that the revelations in the book are all false - Backlin has discovered only that the third man is dead and that the golden trail has gone cold. Grant has had enough and storms off but later finds Backlin hiding from his assailants in Grant's flat. Meanwhile Rip has been hard at work doing what he does best - analyzing the facts - and has come up with an answer. He leads Grant and Backlin to the Goldenrail Express itself, now a museum exhibit, and proudly reveals where the gold has been for thirty years. But they are not alone in the museum and more than one person is there to lay claim to the treasure.
