A new author joins the Crime Classics series with Margot Bennett's 1955 masterpiece
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? Bennett's ingenious mystery remains an innovative and thoroughly entertaining inversion of the classic whodunit.
This edition also includes the rare short story 'No Bath for the Browns'.

Margot Bennett (1912-1980) was a Scottish writer who penned a small, though influential, number of crime, thriller and science fiction novels. After the The Man Who Didnt Fly narrowly missed out on winning the first CWA Gold Dagger award in 1955, Bennett went on to win with her novel Someone from the Past in 1958.
