Description
Kingfisher by Gerald Seymour In 1970, four Ukrainian Jewish students hijacked a plane in an attempt to escape persecution in the Soviet Union. With one country after another refusing to let them land, they finally set down in Britain, low on fuel. As their situation became increasingly desperate, negotiations with the authorities began. The government's response was unclear, leaving the students and their captors in a state of limbo. Charlie Webster, an Intelligence officer, was brought in to negotiate with the hijackers, but it was impossible to determine whether they were genuine refugees or dangerous criminals. As tensions escalated, the situation became increasingly volatile. This gripping thriller explores the complexities of the Cold War era, where the lines between right and wrong are constantly blurred.
