Heldman was educated at Eton and Oxford University. He began to publish short stories, mostly adventure tales, as \"Bernard Heldmann,\" before adopting the name \"Richard Marsh\" in 1893. Several of the prolific Marsh's novels were published posthumously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis tale starts with a struggle on a train and an assumed death of a passenger.
