Publisher's Synopsis
A Killer Flight With No Way Out
When Dr. Hope Sze flies to Los Angeles to reunite with her soul mate, John Tucker, she expects Botoxed blondes with Brazilian wax jobs, not terror at 35,000 feet in the air.
Yet on their way home, with 1000 miles to go and nowhere to land, she and Dr. Tucker must strive to save one man's life.
Hope and Tucker have no surgical equipment. No surgeon on board. And, as first year family medicine residents, almost no experience.
But right this second, they'll try anything.
Especially Hope, because minutes before, she might have accidentally helped to kill the man sprawled at her feet.
"Tachycardia-inducing." Dr. Anna-Maria Carvalho, MD, Emergency & Aviation Medicine
"Awesome. A real page-turner." Dr. Ben Alkan, Trauma Surgeon
"Medicine, murder, mayhem, and the most nightmarish story about airlines at the holidays since Die Hard 2. Laugh, learn, and cringe as medical MacGyver and human s**t magnet Dr. Hope Sze faces down lovers and killers, all before the seatbelt sign gets turned on for landing." Dr. Frank Warsh, author of The Flame Broiled Doctor
"Wonderfully captures the tensions of managing crises, mingled with the wit, improvisation, and humour used to survive them. Great characters with personality quirks that many docs will recognize." Dr. Mark Soth, Intensive Care Unit Specialist
"I don't think I have ever read a book so many times, and I am really excited to read it again! I love it. It kept me up all night. I had to tell the whole airline about it." Anne Zoeller, flight attendant
