ABOUT THE BOOK
“Stunning and relentless. This is Jaws at 35,000 feet.” —Don Winslow
“Falling is the best kind of thriller…Nonstop, totally authentic suspense.” —James Patterson
“The perfect summer thriller. Relentlessly paced and unforgettable.” —Janet Evanovich
On a crowded flight from Los Angeles to New York, passengers are unaware that the pilot’s family has been kidnapped and the pilot must crash the plane to save them. Newman is a flight attendant herself and came up with the idea during a work shift when the passengers were sleeping. She began writing Falling on napkins while working her red-eye shifts. As James Patterson says, "Falling is the best king of thriller. Characters you care deeply about. Nonstop, totally authentic suspense."
