The Matter of the Deserted Airliner

Beschreibung

Unicorn Airlines Flight 739 with no pilot, no crew, and no passengers lands at Anchorage International Airport. As the authorities are wondering what happened, a ransom demand is made for the passengers: $25 million in diamonds. Chief of Detectives for the Sandersonville, North Carolina, Police Department, Captain Heinz Noonan, is visiting his in-laws in Anchorage when he is called onto the case. He has 36 hours to determine how crew and passengers disappeared off Unicorn Airlines Flight 739 before the $25 million in diamonds is paid to the extortionists. But can he solve what appears to be an impossible crime, free the hostages, arrest the perpetrators, and resolve The Matter of the Deserted Airliner before the ransom is paid?

Autor

Steve Levi has spent more than 40 years researching and writing about Alaska's history. He specializes in the ground-level approach to history. An excellent example of his in-the-weeds approach is Bonfire Saloon, a saloon-level book of authentic Alaska Gold Rush characters in a Nome saloon on March 3, 1903. His book, The Human Face of the Alaska Gold Rush, is a compendium of people and events usually left out of scholarly books. For fiction, he specializes in the 'impossible crime,' where the detective must figure out HOW the crime was committed before he can go after the perpetrators. For example, in The Matter of the Vanishing Greyhound, the detective must determine how a Greyhound bus can vanish off the Golden Gate Bridge and, in The Matter of the Departed Diamonds, how $3 million in diamonds can disappear from a locked bank vault.
