‘Cary is great with a gun and deadpan about danger’ Spectator
Bill Cary makes a precarious living flying aerial surveys over Lapland. When he’s hired by a wealthy American hunter, Frederick Wells Homer, to fly into a prohibited part of Finland near the Soviet border, the job seems shady indeed, and when a major crook wants him to go on the hunt for Tsarist treasure, things get messy. With thugs and the Finnish Secret Service already on his tail, matters get worse when Homer’s beautiful sister turns up to search for him, and Cary’s fellow bush pilots start getting killed off in a series of suspicious accidents. Cary begins to realise that it may all stem from an incident in his wartime past.
