A Snowbound Train, A Perfect Crime
The Orient Express cuts through the winter night, a luxury train carrying passengers from Istanbul to Calais. Among them is Hercule Poirot, the fastidious Belgian detective with his egg-shaped head and magnificent mustache. In the dining car, he observes two curious figures: a young American and an elderly man whose benevolent appearance masks something malevolent. Later, this older man-Samuel Ratchett-approaches Poirot with an unusual request. He believes his life is in danger and offers twenty thousand dollars for protection. Poirot refuses with a cutting dismissal: "I do not like your face, M. Ratchett." That night, the train becomes trapped in a snowdrift between Vincovci and Brod. By morning, Ratchett is found dead in his locked compartment, stabbed twelve times with savage and inconsistent force. The window is open, but the unbroken snow outside proves no one escaped. With the train snowbound and no outside access, the murderer must still be among them. What makes this setup so brilliant is its perfect isolation. The snowdrift doesn't just strand the passengers-it creates a closed universe where conventional rules are suspended. Within this luxurious prison, a new form of justice will emerge.
