About this ebook
The Flight is the fourth thrilling installment in Matthew Hall's gripping, CWA Gold Dagger shortlisted Coroner Jenny Cooper series, from the creator of BBC One's Keeping Faith.
A tragic accident or a terrible crime?
When Flight 189 plunges into the Severn Estuary, Coroner Jenny Cooper finds herself handling the case of a lone sailor whose boat appears to have been sunk by the stricken plane, and drawn into the mysterious fate of a ten year-old girl, Amy Patterson, a passenger on 189, whose largely unmarked body is washed up alongside his.
While a massive and highly secretive operation is launched to recover clues from the wreckage, Jenny begins to ask questions the official investigation doesn’t want answered. How could such a high tech plane – virtually impregnable against human error – fail? What linked the high powered passengers who found themselves on this ill-fated flight? And how did Amy Patterson survive the crash, only to perish hours later?
Under pressure from Amy’s grieving mother, and opposed by those at the very highest levels of government, Jenny must race against time to seek the truth behind this terrible disaster, before it can happen again . . .
The Flight is followed by the fifth book in the Coroner Jenny Cooper series, The Chosen Dead.
The Jenny Cooper novels have been adapted into a hit TV series, Coroner, made for CBC and NBC Universal starring Serinda Swan and Roger Cross.

This is the fourth Jenny Cooper book I've read (back-to-back - I can't get enough of 'her', although her self-centred son got on my nerves; thankfully he doesn't appear in this one), and I didn't want any of them to end. They're a 'master class' in brilliant writing, from conception, the flowing narration, and especially the faultless structuring of the complex storylines. I can't wait to get stuck into The Burning which I downloaded a few days ago. GREAT stuff and I highly recommend all of them.
