Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.

Sleeping Indoors, by Jim Holt
When literary reviewer Paul and his wife Nora invite a homeless man, Dwain, into their home for Christmas dinner, they don't expect to be so charmed by him -- or that his journal will be the incredible literary masterpiece that it is. But can Dwain, whose art thrives in anonymity, be convinced to give up the only life he's known for such comforts as sleeping indoors?
"Thought-provoking and funny."

"Sleeping Indoors challenges perceptions and stereotypes about the homeless and raises intriguing questions about what really constitutes a 'good life.'"
The River
"None of Sleeping Indoors plays out the way you'll expect it to, which will not only keep you guessing, it'll keep you entertained, and engaged."
