The Hindenburg Murders
by Max Allan Collins
How the Hindenburg went from luxury airship to gargantuan
fireball wasn’t the only mystery surrounding the zeppelin’s fatal
flight. First came the murder.
When a passenger vanishes during the Hindenburg’s
trans-Atlantic voyage from Frankfurt to New Jersey, mystery writer
Leslie Charteris is asked to use his knowledge of the criminal mind to
quietly pinpoint the killer. Charteris is famous for his fictional
detective, the Saint, who extracts riches as well as vengeance from
evildoers in true Robin Hood fashion. But in this case, the villain
turns out to be the murder victim himself—a Nazi spy. And the list of
passengers who might want him dead is long. Suspecting that sabotaging
the German airship is the killer’s true aim, Charteris must solve the
murder before innocent lives are engulfed in flames.
Reconstructing the zeppelin’s fatal flight on the eve of World War II, The Hindenburg Murders proves that Max Allan Collins is the master of hard-boiled historical fiction.
