Todd Downing’s first mystery novel, Murder on Tour (1933), introduces Hugh Rennert, of the U.S. Customs Service, as he investigates the death of a young agent who was chasing down Mexican artifact smugglers. Following clues left behind by the dead agent, Rennert goes undercover with a touring party to Mexico and quickly realizes he has plenty of suspects. Rennert must bring all his wits to bear as the train ride back to the border becomes a frantic dance with Death. This is a “fair play” mystery from the Golden Age of detective fiction, and the modern reader will be pleased to find a fascinating puzzle alongside strong characters and a well-drawn atmosphere.
