It is 1942. Poppy Redfern is working as a scriptwriter at the London Crown Film Unit, and she is thrilled to be writing a documentary on the Air Transport Auxiliary, known as Attagirls, a group of female civilians who have been trained to pilot planes from factories to military airfields all over Britain. After meeting some of these remarkable ladies, Poppy sees one of the best pilots die in what is being labeled an accident. When another Attagirl meets a similar fate, Poppy and her American fighter-pilot boyfriend, Griff, believe foul play may be at work. In this sequel to Poppy Redfern and the Midnight Murders, they soon realize that a murderer is dead set on grounding the Attagirls for good.
