Possible Inspiration?[edit]

In 1898 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published in the Strand magazine a fictional story The Story of the Lost Special in which a South American Financier and his bodyguard and their "Special" train vanish in the English countryside while trying to get to Paris France in the summer of 1890; mention is made of a political scandal [apparently in France] at the same time. Although off by two years the Panama Scandals were the only scandals involing France and South America at this time period.
