"A riveting locked-room mystery at high altitude. [...] Keep your trays in the upright position and stay buckled because once you take off, you're not gonna want to get off this ride." Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of the Orphan X series

Flight 868 is a ticket to paradise, a non-stop service to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Over a dozen tipsy passengers are off to a destination wedding.  A team of high school baseball players is headed to a tournament. The plane is packed with people going on a trip of a lifetime.

But under cover of turbulence, a killer strikes – and when the lights come back on, a passenger is found brutally murdered. As holiday dreams turn into nightmares, a bewildered air marshal must solve the crime. For this is no ordinary flight and there's only one certainty: the killer is on the plane – and the only way out is down…

Buckle up – you're in for an unforgettable ride!



Susan Walter is a recovering screenwriter and film director who started writing books to kill people because it was frowned upon in real life. Her first two novels are set in the movie business, but then she discovered there are even more dangerous places and is now murdering people on aeroplanes, on ski slopes, and in safe houses while on the run from organised crime.
