Bestselling author and Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark draws on her career as a young Pan American Airway flight attendant to create these tales of adventure and intrigue from her first two published stories.
In Stowaway, a courageous flight attendant helps a desperate young man of the underground escape the Soviet police. In Milkrun, a flight attendant becomes immersed in a web of deception when she serves as a courier of an important document—only to find it's been stolen during the flight. Stowaway and Milkrun are two edge-of-your-seat classics that could only come from Mary Higgins Clark.

“Clark’s first two published stories, written in the fifties, draw from her career as a Pan-American flight attendant to create romance, mystery and intrigue in the skies. Reader Jan Maxwell depicts guttural Eastern Bloc accents, so familiar from the Cold War era, with strong male tones, while portraying the heroine as charming and feminine. Tension builds as vocal tones quicken with increased suspense. Each story draws to a satisfying close. An excellent listen for short commutes.”
