The Ben Time Mysteries Series

First in a cozy mystery series: A railway engineer is riding on borrowed time as he turns amateur sleuth to solve the murder of a colleague.   It's a matter of routine for Ben Time, a seasoned locomotive engineer: pull thousands of tons of miscellaneous freight from Indianapolis to St. Louis day and night. But the impatience of an early morning rail yard delay turns to dread when Ben discovers that the train master has been found murdered.   All signs point to a fellow engineer who had a knack for antagonizing anyone who stood in his way. Ben included. But Ben also believes the man isn't guilty. Making peace with the prime suspect is only the beginning. Ben also has to clear his name. That means risking his own life to find out who wanted a co-worker dead, and who had the motives for framing an innocent man.

In this Christian mystery, a locomotive engineer and union chaplain must keep the faith while investigating two suspicious deaths. On a day-to-day basis Ben Time fights to demonstrate Christian principles while working with modern-day railroad men. But the passage of a single night changes everything. Ben spots a ghostly apparition drop from the side of a railroad bridge known among the locals to be haunted. Much to Ben’s surprise, another body is discovered under the railroad bridge five miles West. With several friends and coworkers now suspects in a murder case, Ben begins looking into the deaths. But proving their innocence and solving his second mystery may prove more daunting than he ever thought possible… In this thrilling sequel to Murder and Misconception, T.A. Huggins once again compellingly depicts modern-day railroad life and the ensuing conflict experienced by men living with Christian principles in a secular environment as readers are drawn into Ben Time’s world and the mystery of the bodies under the bridges.
