It’s spring when Oceanic Airways Flight 462 from Hong Kong vanishes off the west coast of Auckland. Emergency services rip into action, first trying to locate the plane, which has 342 passengers on board, and then to uncover the cause of the disaster. DS Maki Hohepa is called in as part of the Police Disaster Response Unit, but nothing is as it seems. The government is blaming human error, but there are unidentified passengers who don’t fit the manifest, missing luggage and body parts that lead to an unexpected discovery. Is this the political act of a foreign nation, is it drugs-related, or is it something altogether more sinister?

“This speculative thriller is a must-read for anyone interested in the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. In this speculative novel, a fictional Dreamliner on its final approach from Hong Kong to Auckland suddenly vanishes from radar. When the wreckage of the plane is found, authorities race to unravel the mystery, as nothing is as it first seems. Tense, believable and because of that, slightly terrifying.”
