Detective-Inspector Littlejohn and Sergeant Cromwell work to solve this small town stabbing. On a twilit autumn night, the Falbright Jenny ferries forty passengers back to Falbright from Elmer’s Creek. Except, before the ferry can make it across the River Hore, she ends up marooned on a sand back. Mysteriously, the skipper is no where to be found. But when the pilot’s body is later found under the pier, stabbed in the back, local authorities realise this was more than just an accident. Though Scotland Yard’s best and brightest, Detective-Inspector Littlejohn and Sergeant Cromwell, are called in to investigate the case, they make slow progress solving the small town crime. From local liars to wartime secrets, the whole case is muddled. The only thing that is clear: someone is trying to cover their tracks and Littlejohn and Cromwell must trace the few clues they have in order to solve the mystery before any one else dies. Death Drops the Pilot was first published in 1956. Meet Inspector Littlejohn Inspector Thomas Littlejohn of Scotland Yard is a shrewd yet courteous sleuth who splits his time between quaint English villages, the scenic Isle of Man and French Provinces. With a sharp tongue and a dry sense of humour, Littlejohn approaches his work with poise and confidence, shifting through red-herrings and solving even the most perplexing of cases. Praise for George Bellairs ‘Mr Bellairs always gives good value’ – The Sunday Times ‘Pure British detective story’ – The New York Times ‘Head and shoulders above the average of our day’ – Madison Capital Times ‘Sure-fire, that’s Bellairs’ – New York Herald Tribune ‘The excellent Inspector Littlejohn… is a pleasure to watch’ – Francis Iles of The Sunday Times
