Synopsis

A pilot’s emergency maneuver lands him in court in this thriller by a New York Times bestselling author who “knows how to keep his readers turning pages” (Booklist).On takeoff from Denver during a winter blizzard, an airliner piloted by veteran Captain Marty Mitchell overruns a commuter plane from behind. Bizarrely, the fuselage of the smaller aircraft is tenuously wedged onto the wing of his Boeing 757, leading Mitchell to an impossible life-or-death choice.Mitchell’s decision will land the former military pilot in the crosshairs of a viciously ambitious district attorney determined to send him to prison for doing his job. Despondent and deeply wounded by what he sees as betrayal by the system, Mitchell at first refuses to defend himself or even assist the corporate lawyer forced to represent him.Pitted against the prosecutorial prowess of a DA using Mitchell’s case to audition for a political appointment is young defense attorney Judith Winston. Her lack of experience in criminal cases could mean the end of Mitchell’s freedom, if he doesn’t end his own life first. But like the pilot she represents, she will not give up in the face of devastating odds—and she’s growing ever more determined to expose the corruption behind his personal nightmare.

Later, a respectable pilot calls his lawyer "Babe" to her face for no discernable reason. This is so clearly written by a man that I hope to nev......more

Goodreads review by Kathleen on July 03, 2022

16 Souls by John J. Nance is as good as a disaster novel can be. Even better, it’s a perfect blend of disaster novel and courtroom thriller. The story gripped me and the characters were believable. I had things to do and places to go yesterday and instead I immersed myself in it until well after bed......more

Goodreads review by Bev on July 25, 2023

I have yet to be disappointed by a John J. Nance book. Each one has captured my interest and kept me reading intensely. His books typically feature some type of emergency related to aviation and his personal experience always makes me as a reader feel as if I am a participant in the story if only by......more

Goodreads review by James on December 07, 2018

I hate to say it, but based on the exciting premise I was hoping for and expecting much more. There's entire scenes in the book that are either glossed over or missing entirely, bits that would have really added to the high-stakes drama of the book. (Like Captain Michelle's testimony, anyone?) There......more

Goodreads review by Lori on May 23, 2018

I couldn't put it down! This book was easily a 5 star rating. I've read all of Nance's other books and absolutely loved them, and this was no excepti on. This one would get more stars if that was an option, because it literally kept me wondering what was next! I was kept in the dark up until the last......more
