Stella North is one of twelve young pilots competing in a 1937 air race meant to promote peace in Europe, but when one of her competitors is sabotaged, Stella races to determine who is capable of murder, and who might be the next victim

1937. Stella North has been chosen to represent Britain in Europe's first air race for young people. The stakes are high: as the only participating female pilot, it'll be a constant challenge to prove she's a worthy competitor. But promoting peace in Europe feels empty to Stella when civil war is raging in Spain and the Nazis are gaining power. Right from the start, someone resorts to cutthroat sabotage to get ahead of the competition. It's meant to be a friendly sporting event-but each of the racers is hiding a turbulent and violent past. Any one of them might be capable of murder-including Stella herself. -- adapted from jacket
