I really enjoyed this fast paced espionage thriller novelette by James Swallow. Marc Dane is on the hunt to track down Mateo Garza who is involved in a brutal South American drug cartel.
The plane and passengers including Marc are in peril due to assassins who have sneaked aboard the plane and rendered them unconscious. Marc has to fight them single handed with no weapons but with his expertise he uses whatever he can lay his hands on to save the day with the help from his colleague Assim on the ground.

Short story, not gripping like Dane's previous outings.
