Items related to Airs Above The Ground
Vanessa march, two years married and very much in love, is pro- pelled from London to Vienna by a shocking discovery. In her charge is young Timothy Lacy, who also has an urgent problem to solve.
But what promised to be no more than a delicate personal mission turns out to involve the security forces of three countries, two dead men, a circus and its highly coloured personnel, the mysterious Mr. Lee Elliott and among others the famous white stallions of Vienna.
The 'airs above the ground' are the beautiful leaps and dancing steps made by the white Lipizzan stallions of the Spanish Riding School. They are also the peak points of the story, which happen literally in high places: a terrifying night on the rooftop of the Schloss Zechstein, a high-wire act in the Circus Wagner and the fighting finish in the Gleinalp.
