Description

A turbulent night high above the clouds turns a routine flight into a deadly cat-and-mouse game. Detective Hale Jenkins is hustled aboard the massive airliner to chase the reckless gangster Bud Griffin, whose temper flares as violently as the storm outside. Between nervous banter and the whirr of engines, the two men grapple with their own grudges, while a mysterious “dame” named Myrtle lingers in the shadows, hinting at a larger web of crime. The cramped cabin becomes a pressure cooker, where every flash of anger could trigger a fatal showdown.

As the aircraft dives through a thick bank of fog, Griffin’s fury erupts in a sudden, brutal attack that shatters the fragile peace. Jenkins, stunned yet determined, scrambles for his weapon amid a swirl of blood and adrenaline. The first act ends with the detective teetering on the edge of the aisle, the plane still soaring, and a deadly game of survival just beginning.

Shaped by time in the Marines and a love of dark, high-stakes storytelling, this thriller writer draws on discipline, tension, and vivid imagination to build intense crime fiction. Insomnia-fueled ideas and military experience both play a part in the voice behind the Devils' series.
