ABOUT THE STORY: In an airliner called ‘Prometheus’ from Le Bourget (France) to Croydon (England) an unusual event occurs while flying over the English Channel. A woman named Madame Giselle is murdered coldly with the venom dipped dart of a South African blow-pipe. The event was unusual considering that that none of 12 passengers in the rear car, where the murder happens, noticed anything unusual that could provide some clue towards the murder. In addition, there’re 2 stewards and they also are clueless about it. And the most unusual thing about the whole affair is that the master detective Hercule Poirot was sitting just 15 feet away from the victim.
Such are the circumstances within which begins one of the mystery tale of Agatha Christie’s (AC) : ‘Death in the Air’. After the murder, starts the investigation with joint effort of English and French police. Discovery of the blowpipe under the seat of Poirot raises early suspicion towards him, which inspector Japp of English police immediately discards for having known Poirot for so long. And this suspicion adds further to motivate Poirot to resolve the case and find the killer.
Madame Giselle turns out to be money lender who loaned money to rich people keeping their secret information as security. So the killer could be someone who might have borrowed some money from her. Now leaving, Poirot, there were 12 more persons on plane, including 2 stewards, who could have killed Giselle. With suspects from quite a varying professions and classes like : Famous French archeologist Duponts, father and son, English dentist Norman Gale; A Business Jesse Ryder, A Novelist Clancy; Lady Horbury or Veneta Kerr famous and rich ladies; Jane Grey the Beautician; Dr Bryant, a famous doctor.
