Be prepared to be held hostage to the nail-biting
suspense of a world-class thriller. High above the Rocky
Mountains, a routine airline flight becomes a midair standoff
as 130 passengers listen to their captain relate the unprecedented
demands of an unseen hijacker. Federal and state officials
must hunt down, arrest, and indict the murderer of a young
girl, and do it all in eight hours--or the airplane will
be blown out of the sky.
With the airline in
confusion, the media pursuing, and the hijacker forcing the aircraft into
wild maneuvers as they head toward Salt Lake City, the FBI reluctantly fields
its closest hostage negotiator, a rookie female agent and psychologist named
Katherine Bronsky. Immediately, Bronsky finds herself sucked into the vortex
of an impossible war of wills between a volatile, unstable hijacker holding
the trigger to a bomb and stonewalling Justice Department officials who have
no real intention of meeting the lone gunman's demands.
When the hijacker suddenly refuses to land at Salt Lake
City, Kat commandeers a business jet and races after the low-flying 737. As
the jetliner runs low on fuel, she's stunned to discover that the man with the
gun is none other than the murdered girl's father, and that one of his
hostages is a front-runner to become the new Attorney General of the United
States.
Successful at last in getting him to
land in a remote Colorado airport, Bronsky's brave and desperate attempts to
reason with the hijacker backfire, and she becomes a hostage herself. Now
discounted and ignored by her superiors in Washington for losing control,
Bronsky's only hope to save the passengers and crew of Air Bridge Flight 90
is to solve the wrenching mystery of who killed an eleven-year-old girl in a
dark Connecticut forest.
