ABRIDGED THRILLER - 4 CASSETTES = 6 HOURS - READ BY THE AUTHOR.
In this sky-high thriller, an airline pilot takes his 737 hostage, putting every passenger on board at risk. His demand: that the authorities hunt down, arrest and indict an unprosecuted killer-within twenty-four hours.
The FBI sends in Kat Bronlky, one of its very first female hostage negotiators. Calling on all her training and talent to hold the pilot's fragile psyche together, Kat feels her allegiances shift as she learns the true story behind his breakdown. Notching up the suspense with each twist and turn of the lightning-swift plot, John Nance poses a compelling dilemma: In an appalling miscarriage of justice, with the spectre of a little girl haunting the three key players, who is the real victim-and who is the villain? As the drama unfolds, it is clear that the only person who can bring AirBridge Flight 90 safely to the ground is a man with a death wish-and quite possibly a legitimate grievance.
