Learn the 'Inside Story' of a complex high-tech crime from years ago! Taking place in a pre-9/11 world of the 80's, a former US submarine is hijacked in the Gulf, a floating aircraft carrier museum is hijacked from its dock in South Carolina, a Learjet and then a DC-9 are hijacked from New York shortly thereafter. The story is a vintage-era caper that involves gold, hostages and a memorable cast of noble and exceptionally nasty characters.
Media Reviews:
•Library Journal said: "A well-written and carefully researched piece of high-camp."
•Mystery News said: "The interplay of these characters builds to a shattering climax."
•Charleston Evening Post said: "This story thoroughly holds the reader in suspense."
•Pittsburgh Press said: "The man can write, and his supply of airplanes is inexhaustible."
•Publisher's Weekly said: "The ending is a lulu."
•Listed for many weeks on the Bestseller lists in the United States, England, Australia, Germany and other countries – and broadcast as a 13 episode serial drama on Japanese National Radio!
•The Buffalo News said: "A whiz-bang story!"
