Summary:
"'How can a man disappear from a locked bathroom on a plane in mid-flight? That's the mind-bending puzzle at the heart of ... Vailati's stellar mystery ... Golden Age fans will be delighted by the baffling crime and the logical and plausible solution.' -Publisher's Weekly. As the principal investigator explains, there seem to be four alternative explanations: accident, suicide, murder and purposeful escape, each of which he demonstrates convincingly to have been impossible! After one ingenious theory is disproved, the eventual stunning explanation is revealed"--back cover.
