Night Without End by Alistair MacLean
4.0
Not one of MacLean's best but a good read. It is a combination of a "locked room mystery" as well as the typical action/adventure of MacLean's early work.
When a plane mysteriously crashes in Greenland, Dr Peter Mason rescues the passengers, but later discovers that the crew were murdered. The list of suspects in a typical "locked room style" were:
Margaret Ross : Flight Attendant
Marie LeGarde : Queen of the Music Hall
Nick Corazzini : Manager of "Global Tractor Co."
Reverand Joeseph Smallwood : Religious delegate
Johnny Zagero : Boxer
Solly Levin : Johnny's manager (Dad)
Mrs Dansby-Gregg : London Socialite
Helene Fleming : Mrs Dansby-Gregg's maid
Theodore Mahler : Diabetic
Senator Hoffman Brewster : U.S. senator
With winter closing in, Dr Mason along with his colleague Nils Nielson ('Jackstraw") decide to get the passengers back to civilization, undertaking a dangerous journey across the ice fields of Greenland, but with a killer unidentified, the journey becomes even more perilous.
In the typical dramatic writing style of MacLean, he brings alive the barren landscape of Greenland, showing why he regarded by many as a great in the Action/Adventure novels.
