The Night Flyers

The Atlantic Ocean, April 1930.

A glamorous Hollywood actress is found murdered at the Polaris seadrome, one of three landing platforms for transatlantic flights located far out at sea. The seadromes are a favored playground for the upper classes, where alcohol flows freely despite the Prohibition era.

Young stunt pilot Bunty Thorvaldsen is tasked with flying out homicide investigator Jack Tarkowski, who has been assigned to solve the case. Bunty has a troubled past and prefers not to talk about her upbringing in the Norwegian-American community of Minnesota. She could also do without her bad habit of flirting with men. Jack, for his part, is struggling both mentally and physically after being seriously wounded in the line of duty.
