Flight – the second gripping thriller from Dublin based writer Brian Gallagher.
A chance meeting in the Yorkshire Dales with an old school enemy draws advertising executive David Walker and his pregnant wife Mary into the murky world of cut-throat espionage.
In a life and death struggle this ordinary couple find their very survival put to the test as they are run to ground, by both the police and vicious hit man, Visser.

‘For Mary Adams the choice is stark – betray her husband if she wants her baby to live…’
A moment of madness in the Yorkshire Dales creates shock waves that will ripple out to London, Dublin, Washington and Bangkok. For David Walker and his wife, actress Mary Adams, a chance encounter sweeps away the certainties of a comfortable suburban lifestyle and embroils them in the murky world of espionage…
Their dream of eagerly awaited parenthood turns into a nightmare as they become targets for powerful and ruthless opponents.
But Dave and Mary discover strengths they never knew they had when their survival is put to the test. In a game of bluff and counter bluff they pit their wits against relentless adversaries in a world where nothing is quite what it seems….
Brian Gallagher’s highly successful first thriller, Invincible, was described by Gay Byrne as “a thumping great read”. This description might just as well be applied to his second gripping offering, Flight.
