Stateless (Kobo eBook)

Description

From the beloved #1 bestselling author of Code Name Verity, this thrilling murder mystery set in 1937 Europe soars with intrigue, glamour, secrets, and betrayal.

When Stella North is chosen to represent Britain in Europe’s first air race for young people in 1937, she knows all too well how high the stakes are. As the only participating female pilot, she’ll face constant challenges to prove she’s a worthy competitor. But promoting peace in Europe feels impossible to Stella when civil war is raging in Spain and the Nazis are gaining power—and when, right at the start, someone resorts to cutthroat sabotage to get ahead of the competition.

The world is looking for inspiration in what’s meant to be a friendly sporting event. Stella is expected to befriend each of the other eleven competitors, from charismatic Vittorio, flying for Fascist Italy, to earnest Sebastian, flying for Nazi Germany, and volatile, infuriating Tony, flying for France. But each of the racers is hiding a turbulent and violent past, and any one of them might be capable of murder…including Stella herself.
