GENRE: Thriller

BLURB:
Welcome
aboard Pacific Air Flight 385, with nonstop service from Seattle to Honolulu.
Cora is scared to fly
again after her husband died in a recent helicopter crash in Pago Pago.
A thousand times she
has told herself to turn around, not get on the flight, go back to her young
children.
But now, she’s seated
in first class across the aisle from the girlfriend of a famous billionaire
pharmaceutical entrepreneur.
Halfway across the
Pacific, the flight is hijacked. Six people are dead—including the pilots.
Cora is a young widow,
mother, and emergency room nurse...but as the world closes in around her, she’s
also a pilot’s daughter.
Lost off radar in the
middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, the motive behind the hijacking remains a
mystery. Not knowing who to trust, Cora works with the man seated beside her,
Seattle Homicide Detective Kyle Adams, to save herself along with the remaining
one hundred and fifty-four souls on board.

Excerpt:
Kyle heard a baby crying in the main cabin. Passengers were
starting to flood first class. They were pushing each other to try and see what
was happening. Several were yelling hysterically.
Kyle headed back toward his seat, where a couple passengers
were helping the first-class flight attendant tape over the bullet holes. The
piece of tape they stuck to the wall was quickly sucked out the hole. The loud hissing
returned.
“My dad told me they used wet toilet paper in the Air Force
to plug small holes in their planes.”
Kyle turned to see Cora beside him.
Mila raised her eyebrows. “Toilet paper?”
Cora nodded. “Yeah, they would get it wet and wad it up against
the hole. Then the end would get sucked outside and freeze to seal the leaking
air.”
A male passenger tossed the medical tape onto a seat. “It’s
worth a try. I’ll go get some.”
Kyle and Cora stepped aside for him to move past them. Kyle
stepped toward Mila and put his hand on her shoulder.
“You need to get on the Intercom and tell everyone to calm
down. The hijackers are dead. We need them to stop panicking.”
She turned toward him. “Okay.”
“Is that the pilot?” one of the passengers from the back
screamed, seeing the co-pilot’s body at the front of first class.
“Please!” Kyle put both hands in the air. “We need everyone
to return to their seats.”
He turned toward Mila as she pulled the Intercom from the
wall. “Try not to alarm everyone,” he said to her in a low voice. He took a
step toward her over the dead hijacker. “But we need to know if there’s anyone
on board who can fly a plane.”
