It is 1937 and tensions are high. A spectacular air race around
Europe seeks to promote unity among a group of young pilots, but
distrust and animosity are rife. The British and sole female
contestant, Stella North, is determined to prove not only her
skill, but also her identity as her Nansen passport declares her
'stateless'. However, barely a few hours in, Stella is witness to a
horrifying attack when a contestant's plane is forced out of the
air and crashes. Was this the work of another competitor desperate
to win? Was the attack random or premeditated and, most
importantly, will it happen again? With the competition heating up
and the death ruled an accident, Stella is left to form her own
investigation. Can she find allies among her fellow competitors or
will suspicion and deceit bring them all down? An exhilarating rush
of a novel, with all the twists and turns we've come to expect from
the award-winning Elizabeth Wein.
