But Hercule Poirot is also on the flight and his discovery of a poisoned dark leads him to believe that the wasp did not cause her death. Poirot has a large cast of characters to choose from in this 'locked-room' mystery and working with Scotland Yard and the Surete, he sets out to discover the truth in his own very methodical way.

Review:

“It will be a very acute reader who does not receive a complete surprise at the end.”
Times Literary Supplement

From the Back Cover:

From seat no. 9, hercule poirot was ideally placed to observe his fellow air passengers. Over to his right sat a pretty young woman, clearly infatuated with the man opposite; ahead, in seat No. 13, sat a Countess with a poorly-concealed cocaine habit habit; across the gangway in seat No. 8, a detective writer was being troubled by an aggressive wasp.

What Poirot did not yet realise was that behind him, in seat No. 2, sat the slumped, lifeless body of a woman.

FOR THE PASSENGERS ON THE AIR LINER PROMETHEUS, THE SHORT CHANNEL HOP FROM LE BOURGET WAS TO BE ANYTHING BUT ROUTINE
