The Man Who Didn't Fly (British Library Crime Classics)

Mystery crime fiction written in the Golden Age of Murder

Four men were due to fly to Dublin. When disaster strikes and the plane goes down over the Irish sea, only three of them were on board. With the identities of the flyers scattered to the winds, the police turn to the Wade family, whose patchy account and memory of their past few days hold the key to this elusive and tense mystery. Who was the man who didn't fly? And what did he have to gain by not?

Proof in one novel that Margot Bennett's tight and suspenseful writing is long overdue rediscovery. Also includes the rare short story "No Bath for the Browns."
