The Falcon in Danger (1943)

In the suspenseful mystery The Falcon in Danger, a commercial plane makes a startling descent, crash landing at a local airstrip, leaving onlookers and rescue teams aghast as they discover not a single soul aboard. Along with the missing pilot, two esteemed industrial tycoons and wartime contractors, Stanley Harris Palmer and Wally Fairchild, have vanished into thin air, leaving behind nothing but a trail of valuable, unclaimed securities. In the wake of this bewildering incident, Palmer's anxious daughter and Fairchild's worried niece enlist the help of the renowned detective, the Falcon, to unravel this enigmatic disappearance. As the investigation deepens, they cross paths with Morley, a deceitful antiques dealer, and his ruthless sons, who tauntingly toss out ransom notes like a trail of breadcrumbs for the desperate girls. Just as the Falcon begins to navigate the murky waters of ransom negotiation, Palmer emerges, alone and without Fairchild, spinning an unbelievable tale of a high-stakes plane hijacking. With a skeptical eye, the Falcon delves further into this mystery, weaving through a web of lies and intrigue, questioning everything and everyone, as he attempts to make sense of this confounding case.
