Lucy in the Sky - Jack Turner Steve Haggerty

Another jet is about to mysteriously disappear, suddenly falling out of the sky into the icy, dark waters below. Unless Jack Turner can break the series of events that his own desperation has set in motion, over two hundred slumbering passengers and crew will perish without a trace. For years, Jack has had the world at his feet...literally. His high-flying career kept him racing from one exotic locale to the next, first in the military as an Air Force pilot, and then as a civilian cockpit crewmember. Every day was a new adventure. Of course, such an exciting job has its ups and downs, and Jack ultimately finds himself on the downhill slope of the roller-coaster ride, knuckles white on the safety bar. Prompted by a disintegrating relationship with his local loan shark, and with his ex-wife taking him back to court, he is forced to consider desperate measures, totally abhorrent to everything he believes. Somewhere over the dark Atlantic, as the high-flying airliner traces icy white contrails across a starlit sky, Jack executes a daring plan to get himself out of the fix he is in. With his clueless Captain sleeping at the wheel, he puts the lives of everyone on board in danger, attempting to seize a treasure beyond his wildest dreams. Despite the obstacles before him, he is confident that he and Lucy, his beautiful female accomplice, will succeed. Unfortunately, there is more at stake than he ever imagined. And as always, disaster is just moments away...
