“To the world, she was Amelia Earhart, but to me, and only me, she was Amy.”
Detective Nathan Heller has taken on some of the most sensational crimes of the twentieth century. In Flying Blind, he returns to the one unsolved case of his career: the disappearance of America’s most famous aviatrix.
The year is 1970. Nathan Heller has retired from his distinguished career as a private investigator. But now a stranger has come knocking at his door. He wants Heller to travel to Saipan, the last place Amelia Earhart may have been seen alive. For Heller, it is an offer he can t resist — the chance to find out what really happened to the woman he once loved...
It was a scene right out of a 1930s movie script: Amelia Earhart arriving in Heller’s hometown of Chicago to receive the key to the city in a gala tribute to her upcoming flight around the world. The champagne is flowing, the Cole Porter music is playing, and Nathan Heller has just been hired by Amelia’s publicity-hungry husband to uncover who has been sending Amelia threatening letters. Yet not even Nathan Heller can protect Amelia once she boards the plane that will carry her toward the horizon... only to vanish into the night and into history.
Now, decades later, Heller is determined to discover what really happened on that final, fateful flight. It is a journey that will take him to distant, deadly shores, into a world of international intrigue, espionage, betrayal, and finally, to a stunning secret buried at the bottom of the sea, locked away in the vaults of time.
A suspenseful novel of dazzling invention that sweeps from the star-studded nightclubs of Hollywood to the exotic tropical islands of the South Pacific, Flying Blind offers a brilliantly realized conclusion to one of history’s most spellbinding puzzles.
