September 1939, two days after Britain declares war: a group of privileged but desperate passengers boards the Pan American Clipper, the largest and most luxurious airliner ever built, at Southampton for the thirty-hour flight to New York. Among them are an English aristocrat fleeing with his family and a fortune in jewels, a German scientist escaping the Nazis, a murderer under FBI escort, a young wife running from her domineering husband and a charming thief. Once over the Atlantic there is no escape. A gripping wartime thriller by the author of Eye of the Needle and The Pillars of the Earth.
First published by Macmillan London in 1991. This edition was published in 1991 by BCA, by arrangement with Macmillan London.
