Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille does it again with Elite Anti-terrorist Task Force Agents John Corey and Kate Mayfield discovering corruption deep in the FBI and they set out to find the truth.
On a Long Island beach at dusk, Bob Mitchell and JanetWhitney conduct their illicit love affair in front of a video camera, set to record each steamy moment. Suddenly a terrible explosion lights up the sky. Grabbing the camera, the couple flees as approaching police cars speed toward the scene. Five years later, the crash of Flight 800 has been attributed to a mechanical mal-function.
But for John Corey and Kate Mayfield, both members of the Elite Anti-terrorist Task Force, the case is not closed. Suspecting a cover-up at the highest levels and disobeying orders, they set out to find the one piece of evidence that will prove the truth about what really happened to Flight 800-the videotape that shows a couple making love on the beach and the last moments of the doomed airliner.

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!! The story and the narration; I, too, am an airplane lover. In the interview after the book ended I was so excited to hear that Mr. DeMille has written other books using the same narrator. I will read all of them starting now!Thank you so much this has been a real treat. By the way I have an aviary my (own little airplanes) as I am feeding and cleaning their hangers I listen to the book and they listen and practice flight maneuvers!"

Quotes
-
“With inspired writing and the tension-inducing talents of a true master, Nelson DeMille delves into one of the most mysterious tragedies in recent history—TWA Flight 800…his most entertaining and skillful novel to date.”
— Dan Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author -
“What ratchets up the tension in this capably written thriller is what the reader knows but Corey doesn’t as he heads for a showdown…You don’t have to believe in conspiracies or government cover-ups to find his latest engrossing, entertaining, and enlightening.”
— Amazon.com -
“The pages will turn in a blur as a feeling of dread grows, until the end comes and one’s worst fears are confirmed. Readers will think about this one for a long time.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“As usual, DeMille spins a well-crafted, timely, and exciting tale. Corey is a cynical and sarcastic ex-cop who’s been around the block at least once too often, while Mayfield is a straight-arrow FBI lawyer who wants desperately to do right for the dead of Flight 800. To do so, they must deal with sinister forces within their own government as they unknowingly count down to 9/11. Strongly recommended for most popular-fiction collections.”
— Library Journal -
“This real-life tragedy hands DeMille perhaps his finest plot ever, one that involves real feeling and will have you squirming and calling out at various dangers.”
— Kirkus Reviews -
“Scott Brick has a clear take on Nelson DeMille’s tension-rich style. Building the suspense and puzzling through layers of questions, Brick leads listeners with a comfortable style. Using enough character voices to keep the portraits clear, he colors Corey with a vocal depiction that lets the wise-guy sarcasm bloom while the ‘won’t-take-no’ instincts run deep alongside. Nicely nuanced and involving.”

" Being a native Long Islander, I absolutely loved this book! I remember when that plane went down. "
— Marilyn, 2/6/2014 -
" As an audio book for a long, long drive, which is how I ate this one, this gets five stars. If I had read it as a novel, it would have gotten maybe four. A great take on the TWA 800 "accident" through the vehicle of a fun detective story. "
— Sherm, 1/31/2014 -
" Fast paced and interesting... I will probably be picking up some others in this series in the future. "
— Jennifer, 1/30/2014 -

— B, 1/17/2014 -
" great story, grabs the readers attention and love the action and tension between characters. everything was great until the last few pages and the highly recommended book turned into the cheapest ending possible, quick and doesn't attempt to close any story lines. "
— Sarah, 1/16/2014 -
" awesome. incredible ending. "
— Mike, 12/26/2013 -
" Must read book about the conspiracy surrounding the crash of TWA Flight 800 off the coast of New York. Completely tense, totally exciting, and a killer ending. "
— Ali, 11/18/2013 -

— Julie, 11/3/2013 -
" Excellent thriller but contained an excessive and unnecessary amount of bad language. "
— Elizabeth, 10/23/2013 -
" A great read with a stunningly satisfying conclusion. My years as a flight attendant may color this review, but for me, it just works. "
— Denise, 10/20/2013 -
" I love Nelson Demille books and this one was good. The story was a bit slow but it was still suspenseful. On the last few chapters I wasn't sure how the story would wrap up in so little pages but the end was kind of perfect. Great mystery-thriller! "
— Lauren, 9/14/2013 -
" Awesome book. I like detective kind of stuff, so it was a great read for me. Also...the end is full of suspense, and it makes the notion of something that happened to this country years ago, a time that no one in our generation will ever forget. "
— Andrea, 5/21/2013 -
" I stopped reading about 75 pages in. I felt like I had been reading the same technical information repeated over and over again for at least 50 pages. I finally couldn't take it anymore and had to throw in the towel. "
— Steph, 4/11/2013 -
" A chilling look at Flight 800 which exploded over Long Island Sound in 1996. Part non-fiction and part fiction, the author leaves it up to the reader to make a judgment call on this one. Land to air missile? or engine malfunction? "

" Amazing. I am so glad a coworker turned me onto Nelson Demille. I love the John Corey series and this one is the best one yet (granted I'm only 3 books into the series, but still). I listen to the audiobooks and Scott Brick is John Corey. I can't wait to read the next one in the series. "
— Lorrie, 10/25/2012 -
" Very good story. The lead character is the kind of P.I. I remember from my younger day and the books that I read "
— Dad, 6/20/2012 -
" I am so sick of Jon Corey. I hate his sense of humor. "
— Linda, 1/30/2012 -

— Kim, 11/5/2011 -

— Martha, 5/19/2011 -
" Once again, Nelson Demille has wrote an excellent story with good action, drama, compelling storyline, and excitement right up to the last page. I thought it was great how he took a real life story and made it come to life with a twist to it! A must read. "
— Greg, 5/7/2011 -
" More delicious John Corey goodness. The best in the series so far. "
— Sami, 4/28/2011 -
" Possibly my favorite of Demille's books! "
— Kristy, 4/1/2011 -
" First 2/3 of book is not very exciting. There is no villain until Nash comes back from the dead. Then there is a lot of planning all for nothing because 9/11 blows up everyone at the big meeting. Kinda clever how we know that that is going to be apart of the book, but kinda a wimp out for closure. "
— Kendar88, 3/27/2011 -
" A interesting historical fiction book about TWA Flight 800 that crashed off Long Island NY in 1996. <br/>John Corey investigates the facts and the conspiracy behind the case, and keeps you enthralled until the shocking ending. "
— Deborah, 3/27/2011 -
" I've enjoyed several of DeMIlle's books. I had read this one awhile ago and was equally mesmerized by this page-turner the second time around. "
— Sue, 3/22/2011 -
" Pretty good story - like his writing style... "
— Marian, 3/16/2011 -
" Fast paced and interesting... I will probably be picking up some others in this series in the future. "
— Jennifer, 3/10/2011 -
" I loved tagging along on another case with John Corey. While there's no definitive conclusion per se, I thought the ending refocused the story in a way that did give some sense of cadence to the work. "
