May 12 New York (AP): A Skyway Airlines flight carrying 375 passengers and 13 crew bound for Rome's Fiumicino airport from New York's JFK International Airport has disappeared off the radar overnight according to airline spokespersons. Skyway Flight 12 had left New York at 12:00 midnight Monday evening and was said to be operating normally and in good weather conditions. According to sources on the ground, the plane, a Boeing 767, was piloted by an experienced flight crew who issued no alarm of any kind prior to vanishing somewhere over the Atlantic ocean east of Newfoundland. The 767 is
said to be a reliable twin engine carrier that's been in service since 1982 with an excellent safety record. While a catastrophic mechanical failure is presently being investigated, says an FAA spokesman, a criminal event is not being ruled out. Both sea and air rescue crews have been dispatched from the US, Canada, Newfoundland, and Ireland. This is a developing story.
So, thriller fans, it's time.

I enjoyed this book. Fast paced it is well written if not especially believable. Fun romp with a worthy heroine and a villain skilled and devious.

WOW... Joshua Graham does it again and in such a short novel.
We 1st met Xandra in Darkroom. She is still trying to overcome those events and pickup on her life. Heading back to NY, she plans to close up her apartment that she is selling. Closer.... so she thinks.
She meets little Elissa, the daughter of a congressmen running for President. There is that instant connection and then....... her 2nd sight kicks in and she realizes that Elissa is in danger. The race is then on......
Joshua has the ability to grab you at the very beginning and never lets you go ... not even at the end. His writing elicits a hosts of emotions. I am still consummed by the story. Very few writers have that type of ability.
Truly a gifted writer.
5 stars are not enough.
