The Man Who Didn't Fly

Margot Bennett

#1809 of 8,085 books · #580 in Crime & Thriller

Shortlisted for the Edgar Award for Best Novel (1957) and the Gold Dagger Award (CWA Dagger for Crime Novel of the Year) (1955).

Four men had arranged to fly to Dublin. When their aeroplane descended as a fireball into the Irish Sea, only three of them were on board. With the identities of the passengers lost beneath the waves, a tense and perplexing investigation begins to determine the living from the dead, with scarce evidence to follow beyond a few snippets of overheard conversation and one family's patchy account of the three days prior to the flight. Who was the man who didn't fly? What did he have to gain? And would he commit such an explosive murder to get it?
