Waterstones Says

From the author of the acclaimed Code Name Verity comes a compelling 1930s-set mystery, as a Europe-wide air race turns deadly and British pilot Stella North is forced to investigate.

Winner of the CrimeFest Best Crime Fiction for Young Adults Award 2024

A group of young pilots face intrigue and sabotage in a race around Europe in this thrilling murder mystery, from the bestselling author of Code Name Verity. Ideal for readers aged 12+.

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.
