Publisher's Synopsis
"It took me by surprise. The flight's thematic significance and the aerial imagery coupling with Hunter's inner landscape kept me aloft-and horrified."
-Jennifer Hegeman
Aviator Charles Lindbergh's aw-shucks schtick is a mask for a monster who destroys strangers and loved ones with equal indifference.
Hunter makes a fortune exposing fraudsters. When Hunter stumbles across the corpse of his German teacher on his old reformatory grounds, he's certain he is onto something evil and becomes drawn into the mystery.
Unsure who is own father is, Hunter is no angel himself. A former "black ops" military officer, he knows what he has to do to get the job done, no matter the cost.
Nightmares, hallucinations, and fragments of grisly memories knock on the door of his subconscious. Even the stage prop "Old Sparky" in his new lover's lurid Grand Guignol connects a deadly circuit in Hunter.
Orisa cards warn of air disaster. Brainy Pia offers a path out of his disintegration. Traveling the globe-Paris, Berlin, Geneva, and London-Hunter can't resist the magnetic scene south of New York where the Crime of the Century once played out.
Hunter is falling through the universe's trap door. He's headed for hell-unless he can redeem himself with one final flight.
