Description
A sunken jet lies undisturbed on the ocean floor, its occupants still buckled in their seats. The only signs of life are the floating hair and the vacant eyes. Yet, something is missing - the pilot's flight bag, the plane's black box, and the tenth passenger. Bobby Western's dive light illuminates the wreckage, and he is drawn into a world of conspiracy and darkness. As he delves deeper, he is haunted by the ghosts of his past - his father, who invented the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima, and his sister, whose love and ruin have left an indelible mark on his soul. This is the first part of a duology, a breathtakingly dark novel that explores the human condition in all its complexity.
