What to expect
Jackie Swaitkowski investigates the death of a female pilot who had a family tree filled with ex-cons and a passenger list packed with Hamptons high society. Just before Eugenie Conklin's plane took a nosedive, she tossed out a camera case that held an unusual set of photos. While defending Eugenie's husband during the accident investigation, Jackie realizes that she recognizes more than a few of the faces in those pictures. They may be able to prove her client's innocence but Jackie soon learns that to find the answer to Eugenie's death will mean uncovering a mystery from her own family's past as well.
Critics Review
“With an ability to make the shocking plausible, an elegantly edgy prose
style, and characters who seem as real as old friends, Knopf displays his
talents to perfect effect in this humane and haunting novel.”
“A rollicking tale with lots of twists and turns, adding up to a great deal of enjoyment.”
“Engaging…The excellent supporting cast…provide[s] valuable assistance when Jackie’s efforts stir up threats. Domestic
problems and Homeland Security issues enliven a plot with slick twists
that should keep readers switching their bets to the very end.”
“Jackie, a lawyer inclined to skirt the law, is
persistent to the point of bullheadedness and sometimes too fearless for
her own good. Readers may want to scream warnings to her in the
suspenseful final pages of this fine hard-boiled crime novel, which
effectively combines action and introspection.”
