  • "Inspector Grant's holiday in Scotland ends abruptly with the discovery of a body in compartment B7 of the night train."
  • "On his train journey back to Scotland for a well-earned rest, Inspector Grant learns that a fellow passenger, one Charles Martin, has been found dead. It looks like a case of misdaventure--but Grant is not sure."
  • "Inspector Alan Grant is in his very best form in The Singing Sands. He is on convalescent holiday, hoping to restore his brain rather than his body--he is apt to suffer severely from claustrophobia--and, as the story opens, the night train from Euston is pulling into its terminus in the Western Highlands. As Grant on his way out passes down the corridor, he finds the surly sleeping-car attendant trying to shake awake the apparently drunk passenger in B Seven. Grant at once sees that the passenger is, in fact, dead."

  • "On sick leave from Scotland Yard, Inspector Alan Grant is planning a quiet holiday with an old school chum to recover from overwork and mental fatigue. Traveling on the night train to Scotland, however, Grant stumbles upon a dead man and a cryptic poem about "the stones that walk" and "the singing sands," which send him off on a fascinating search into the verse's meaning and the identity of the deceased. Despite his doctor's orders, Grant needs just this sort of casual inquiry to quiet his jangling nerves."
  • "En route to a holiday in Scotland, Inspector Alan Grant is drawn into a local police investigation when a fellow passenger is found dead on his train. Although it looks like a simple accident, Grant is unconvinced, and, at the expense of his vacation, he undertakes to determine what, exactly, happened to Charles Martin.Unpublished at the time of author Josephine Tey's death, The Singing Sands was recovered from her papers and released posthumously.
