A small private plane crashes. On board is:
Crew members:
James Melody- the pilot
Charlie Busch- the co-pilot
Emma Lightner- the flight attendant
Passengers:
David Bateman- the head of a 24-Hour News Network not unlike FOX News
Maggie Bateman- his wife
Rachel- their 9 year old daughter
JJ- their 4 year old son
Gil Baruch- their bodyguard
Scott Burroughs- an artist friend of Maggie's
Ben Kipling- a man involved in money laundering and about to be indicted
Sarah Kipling- his wife
The only survivors are Scott and JJ
What follows is a tale that alternates between the aftermath of the crash and the background of the people on board leading up to the cause of the crash.
This is a well spun whodunit as well as a commentary on what people have a right to know, what right do people who go through something like this have to privacy, and how far are people willing to go to get what they want.
