Book description
When Flight 189 plunges into the Severn Estuary, Coroner Jenny Cooper
finds herself handling the case of a lone sailor whose boat appears to
have been sunk by the stricken plane, and drawn into the mysterious fate
of a ten year-old girl, Amy Patterson, a passenger on 189, whose largely
unmarked body is washed up alongside his.
While a massive and highly secretive operation is launched to recover
clues from the wreckage, Jenny begins to ask questions the official
investigation doesn’t want answered. How could such a high tech plane -
virtually impregnable against human error - fail? What linked the high
powered passengers who found themselves on this ill-fated flight? And
how did Amy Patterson survive the crash, only to perish hours later?
Under pressure from Amy’s grieving mother, and opposed by those at the
very highest levels of government, Jenny must race against time to seek
the truth behind this terrible disaster, before it can happen again . .
. 'The Flight is M R Hall's fourth story to feature clever coroner
Jenny Cooper. His investigation of a plane crash in the Severn estuary
is as complex and impressive as his debut The Coroner' Sunday Telegraph
M. R. Hall is a screenwriter and producer and former criminal
