==Overview==
==Synopsis==
On the once-luxurious but now sadly neglected Arkham Express - returning from an assignment escorting a prisoner to New York - the Arkham Detective finds himself investigating a series of gruesome murders aboard the train, where the victims have been decapitated. His investigations lead him to an alien being disguised as a human, who reveals herself to be a kind of cosmic police officer, attempting to save the Earth from an accidental incursion of voracious Doels.
Despite his lack of jurisdiction, and with the alien's assistance, the Detective manages to destroy the Doels who have made their way to Earth and seal the portal which allowed them access, but is unable to save all of the passengers or the alien from their depredations.
