A glamorous air race. A cabaret singer strangled. A pilot dead in the water.
Seaplane pilot Kit Marchmont arrives in St. Moritz for a summer lake air race that promises alpine beauty and sporting glory. But when a hired singer is found strangled backstage during a rehearsal soiree, and a rival pilot dies in a practice run the next morning, Kit suspects both deaths serve a darker purpose.
Officials rule the first death a wardrobe accident and the second pilot error. But Kit sees evidence others ignore: tampered timing equipment, a repositioned course flag, and sabotaged aircraft hardware. With a desperate sponsor, a debt covenant, and mounting pressure to finish the race without scandal, someone is eliminating obstacles to ensure a clean event.
Kit must expose the manipulation before more lives are lost. Using stopwatch tests, metal stress analysis, and photo evidence, she uncovers a killer who murders with precision to protect a financial scheme that spans three countries.
A fair-play aviation mystery with Swiss glamour, technical detection, and a pilot who solves murders the way she diagnoses engine trouble.
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie's travel mysteries and golden age detection with authentic period aviation.
The Seaplane Sleuth Mysteries, Book Three - Can be read as a standalone.
