PART ONE — EUROPE.
In June 1881, the stationmaster at Balcombe, Sussex, sent a telegram down the line. It read: ‘Man found dead this afternoon in tunnel here. Name on papers “I. Gold”. He is now lying here. Reply quick.’ The man was Isaac Gold (1817–81) and he had apparently been thrown off the London to Brighton express train.
Earlier that day, a strange man had got off the train at Preston Park station in Brighton, his clothes covered in blood and a gold watch sticking out of his shoe. He claimed he had been robbed and was lucky to escape. His story did not make sense; his wounds were superficial and he seemed keen to get away. Having first been questioned by railway staff, he was then taken to a police station and interrogated.
