Something in the Air [Hardcover] Graham, John Alexander

Description

What sort of man would blow up an airplane to get one passenger out of the way?

Six passengers aboard the 6:30 shuttle from Boston to New York are dead. One of them was Professor Jake Landau’s best friend. But when Jake tries to find out why this happened, he is stymied at the start. The bomber is dead, shot by the police while stealing the briefcase in which he put the bomb. For the authorities it’s over–they got their man. For Jake it will never be over until he discovers the truth–why the deaths, the bomb–for what purpose.

Jake is no Sherlock Holmes, but he doggedly pursues his quest. Soon he finds that a large criminal organization is taking a very special interest in his investigations. Again–why?

Before the mystery is solved two more people have been senselessly murdered, and Jake himself is in mortal danger.
