It's 1939 and the seaside town of Great Britain are preparing for air attacks. But out of the blue comes an invisible silent plane that can strafe a half dozen innocent people at a time. After the first attacks the authorities are alerted but the deaths keep coming without warning. It's time to bring in Scotland Yard and the Secret Service, and there's even a civilian named Brent, but can they bring the phantom killer to ground -- literally? In his introduction Gavin O'Keefe relates some of the war history of the author and his books and compares The Ghost Plane to the other two Corbetts we'll publish this summer: Vampire of the Skies, and a mystery, Murder Begets Murder.
