Mr. Denning Drives North is a 1950 thriller novel by the British-Australian writer Alec Coppel. [1] When successful and happily married aircraft manufacturer Tom Denning attempts to commit suicide by crashing a plane, detectives uncover a murder in his past background that has driven him insane with guilt.
In 1951 it was turned into a film of the same title directed by Anthony Kimmins and starring John Mills, Phyllis Calvert and Herbert Lom. [2] Although adapted by Coppel from his own play, elements of the plot are significantly different between the two.
