FROM THE CREATOR OF THE AWARD WINNING FARGO AND LEGION TV SERIES
'Hawley's sublime prose glows on every page in this literary thriller of the highest quality' Daily Mail
THE RICH ARE DIFFERENT. BUT FATE IS BLIND.
A private jet plunges into the sea.
The only survivors are down-on his luck artist Scott Burroughs and JJ Bateman, the four year old son of a super-rich TV executive.
For saving the boy, Scott is suddenly a hero.
And then, as the official investigation is rapidly overtaken by a media frenzy, it seems he may also be a villain.
Why was he on the plane in the first place, and why did it crash?

The book started out well, but then the constant dialogue about money and wealth and the difference between people who have money and those that don't became quite nauseating and boring.

Thought the ending was going to be a bit more exciting than it was, but still, good.
