The Railway Detective series is Edward Marston’s long-running historical crime series, centered on Inspector Robert Colbeck and Sergeant Victor Leeming of Scotland Yard, set in the mid-Victorian era as Britain’s railway network expands. It began with The Railway Detective in 2004 and has grown to more than 20 novels, with the latest listed titles extending through 2025.
The books follow Colbeck, a clever Oxford-educated detective, and Leeming, his more practical partner, as they investigate murders and other crimes connected to railways and train travel. The series’ recurring setting is Victorian Britain, and the railway backdrop is a major feature of the books.
