When attorney Lawrence Blakeley boards the night train to Pittsburg carrying a set of highly sensitive forged notes, he anticipates nothing more than a routine legal errand and a rocky sleep. But his world is violently upended when he awakens in the wrong berth, clad in another man's clothing.

Before Blakeley can untangle the bizarre theft of his belongings, a far darker crime is exposed. The passenger in Lower Ten has been murdered. Caught in a terrifying web of circumstantial evidence, Blakeley's plight goes from bad to worse when the train is abruptly derailed in a horrific crash.

With the forged notes missing, an amateur detective hot on his heels, and his fate inexplicably tied to a beautiful girl with a torn telegram and a blood-stained necklace, Blakeley must race against time to prove his innocence. The Man in Lower Ten is a classic, pulse-pounding mystery filled with mistaken identities, stolen artifacts, and a slow-burn romance that flourishes amidst the ashes of a tragic disaster.
