By Lynne Heitman

At one of the world's busiest airports, the sky is about to fall...

“Fasten your seat belt—this story, written by an airline industry insider, is exciting from start to finish.”—AMERICAN WAY

As the new manager of the Majestic Airlines operation at Boston's Logan International Airport, Alex Shanahan expects her fair share of turbulence—but not so much, so soon. Logan Airport is in a state of chaos, with divided loyalties tearing it apart. And hanging over everyone's heads is the mysterious suicide of Alex's predecessor.

There are dark secrets at Logan—especially surrounding a fatal plane crash—that could bring down Majestic Airlines and destroy the careers of everyone involved. Secrets that have already claimed lives. And Alex is next.

“HARD LANDING delves beneath the ticket counters and departure gates to expose how both a major airline and a major airport really work...Highly recommended.”—Jeremiah Healy, Shamus Award-winning author of TURNABOUT

“HARD LANDING goes down easy, and will keep you guessing—and flipping pages—till three a.m.”—John Nance, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of ORBIT

“An edge-of-your seat thriller that sweeps you up and carries you along for the ride.” —Lisa Gardner, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of GONE
