__________
When Majestic Airlines gets suspicious that some of its staff are abusing its databases for a rather alarming reason, Alex Shanahan is called in to find out the hard facts.
Going undercover as an air-hostess, navigating the gossip and the politics, she soon discovers that a group of her female colleagues are running an 'escort' service for Majestic's customers. Dismissive at first, the closer Alex gets to the cunning and dangerous woman who is running the operation, the more she realises the violence involved. Soon she finds herself investigating murder as well as fraud . . .
Lynne Heitman was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. She attended Southern Methodist University where she completed her bachelors and masters degrees, both in business administration, and spent one season as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.
After graduating, she went to work for a major airline in the finance department. Her career in the airline business spanned fourteen years and included a variety of assignments in finance, operations, and human resources. Her last assignment was as the airline's general manager at Boston's Logan Airport. Logan became the setting for her first novel.
Lynne left the airline and moved to the Pacific Northwest to take a job with a small engineering consulting firm. When the company announced plans to relocate two years later, she chose to stay in Seattle, took a severance package, and used the time off to launch her writing career. She drew upon her experiences in the airline business to create the character of Alex Shanahan, the airline-manager-turned-PI, featured in her four thrillers. The second book in the series, PARTS UNKNOWN (previously TARMAC), was named by Publisher's Weekly as one of the year's best, and her short story EXIT INTERVIEW was published in the BOSTON NOIR anthology.
After six years in Seattle, Lynne moved back to the Boston area where she lives today with her family.
Alex Shanahan, private investigator, goes undercover as a stewardess to find out who is behind an airline prostitution ring. She gets more than she bargained for in this second of the series.
