Trans Air Flight 88 is hijacked on approach to Kennedy Airport, initiating the most terrifying hours in the lives of the passengers and crew. When the police storm the plane, killing the terrorists, everyone involved believes the nightmare is over. But it's just the beginning as a serial killer stalks the streets of New York, targeting the surviving hostages. Now it's up to NYPD Lieutenant Raymond Hyte to stop the massacre. The diabolical contest between the cunning killer and the brilliant cop recreates another hostage terror situation--only this time, it's New York's five boroughs under siege. Who will emerge the victor?

ALA Booklist (American Library Association) "...This excellent thriller is enhanced by by the careful detail with which police investigatory procedures are described, by the presence of a sharp protagonist in Hyte, and by more than a few clever plot twists...."--WL

KIRKUS REVIEW "...Half Thriller, Have whodunit, not half bad... Nicely handled stereotypes, from people to places to emotions.... Biggest asset is Hyte, who wears well enough to become a series hero."

"WARNING: David Wind has written an engrossing story with tremendous pace and authenticity of detail. It is a book to be savored, although perhaps not on a plane from Tangier...." J.R. Manber, Diamond Rev
