Lynne Heitman's Alex Shanahan Series
Four aviation thrillers from an author who “melds the maze of today’s airline industry with intrigue and mystery” (John J. Nance, New York Times–bestselling author of Final Approach). The friendly skies are anything but in these expertly crafted novels of suspense set in the cutthroat world of the airline industry, now available in one volume. In Hard Landing—called “an edge-of-your-seat thriller that sweeps you up and carries you along for the ride” by Lisa Gardner—Alex Shanahan takes over Majestic Airlines at Logan International Airport, and discovers that her predecessor’s mysterious death may not have been suicide. In Parts Unknown, black market airplane parts put countless lives at risk, including Alex’s. In the “action-filled” First Class Killing, Alex goes undercover as a flight attendant to bust up a mile-high prostitution ring (The Boston Globe). And in The Pandora Key, a very cold case heats up, and puts Alex in the crosshairs of the Russian mob, as acclaimed author Lynne Hinton brings “the whole shebang to a taut, satisfying conclusion” (Publishers Weekly).
Boston Noir 2
In keeping with the tradition of the Noir series, Boston Noir 2 is made up of the works of several celebrated authors whose work is tied together by a common setting. After the massive success of the first Boston Noir, bestselling author Dennis Lehane is back as curator for another anthology of crime stories set in Boston. The Boston Noir 2 collection features reprints of the classic chilling short stories and novel excerpts that brought the world of noir to its knees. Contributors include Pulitzer winners Joyce Carol Oates and John Updike.
Tarmac
Investigating the murder of her best friend, airline executive Alex Shanahan inadvertently uncovers a black market for used airplane parts that are refurbished and sold as new.
First Class Killing
A female private investigator goes undercover to expose a high-flying prostitution ring in this “action-filled thriller [that] packs an erotic punch” (The Boston Globe). Tough, smart, and resourceful, Alex Shanahan survived the cutthroat corporate world on her own terms. Now she’s using her hard-earned experience as a private investigator. Alex is hired to check out an airline that’s been serving more than just in-flight beverages: there’s a high-end prostitution ring catering to first-class passengers. Alex goes undercover as a flight attendant to infiltrate the group. But she can’t stay hidden in the clouds forever, and when her cover is blown, the turbulence that follows might make this flight her last. “Get ready for the plane ride of your life. . . . Heitman is an excellent storyteller who creates wonderful and believable characters. . . . First Class Killing will leave readers eagerly awaiting the next Alex Shanahan novel.” —Old Book Barn Gazette
Parts Unknown
A gripping and fast-paced Alex Shanahan thriller set in the dangerous and murky world of aviation. Perfect for fans of Jeffery Deaver and James Patterson __________ Alex Shanahan is on her way to a new job with a Detroit start-up airline when the death of a friend takes her on a detour to Miami. The trip turns deadly when Alex connects this murder to the lucrative world of black-market airplane parts: used parts that are illegally reworked, repainted and sold as new. Now Alex must walk into the darkest corner of the airline business she loves, the sordid underbelly of scavengers and chop shops, where profits are valued over the lives of a planeload of passengers - and murder isn't too far to go when millions are at stake. In a world where one faulty part can bring down an airliner and catastrophe is an acceptable risk, Alex must tread carefully, because every step she takes could be her last . . . __________ Book 2 in the Alex Shanahan series.
The Pandora Key
She left the corporate world of airlines, lured by the dark arts of private investigation. Now Alex Shanahan is stirring up a cold case with global implications. Years after she dumped him for a younger man, the scheming ex-wife of Alex's partner, Harvey Baltimore, returns for an unexpected visit. While Alex tries to figure out why Rachel is back, another mystery begins to unfold halfway around the world. Four years after a bloody, high-profile airline hijacking, personal effects belonging to the victims are found in a terrorist safe house. The discovery of this chilling time capsule triggers a chain reaction that leads straight back to Rachel. By the time Alex has untangled Rachel's lies, she will be on the run from the Russian Mafia, caught in the web of a global vigilante group, and forced to take a reluctant trip into her partner's past -- where she will find the key to solving the mystery, but also learn painful lessons about holding on, letting go, and why some keys should never be used.
