"The Great K. & A. Robbery" by Paul Leicester Ford is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book revolves around the character of Dick Gordon, a railroad superintendent, and his involvement in a train robbery plot that intertwines with themes of adventure and corporate intrigue. The story promises a mix of suspense and character-driven narrative, as it delves into the complexities of love, loyalty, and betrayal within the context of a train heist. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Dick Gordon during a seemingly routine interaction on a train carrying notable passengers, including the charming Miss Cullen, whose interest in train robberies becomes a focal point. The atmosphere turns tense as Dick recounts various tales surrounding the infamous K. & A. train robbery, emphasizing his skepticism about the exaggerated accounts of heroism that have emerged since the robbery. The story sets up the characters and their dynamics while hinting at an impending hold-up, particularly as Miss Cullen expresses a longing for adventure. As we further delve into the opening chapters, it becomes clear that the ensuing events will challenge Gordon personally and professionally as he navigates the unexpected consequences of the robbery and its deeper implications for his life and the people involved.
