The Matter Of The Deserted Airliner



Contributed by Steve Levi
 
An airplane with no pilot, crew or passengers lands at Anchorage International Airport. As the authorities are pondering the circumstances of the arrival, a ransom demand is made for $25 million in diamonds and precious stones. Chief of Detectives for the Sandersonville, North Carolina Police Department, Captain Heinz Noonan, is visiting his in-laws in Anchorage when he is called onto the case. For the next thirty-six hours, he pieces together the puzzle of how the crime was committed. But can he solve the crime, free the hostages and locate the perpetrators before the ransom is paid?
