About this listen

Winner of the 2017 Edgar Award for Best Novel.

Selected by The Sunday Times as one of the top page-turners of summer 2017.

From the creator of the award winning Fargo and Legion TV series.

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?

Critic reviews

"Hawley's sublime prose glows on every page in this literary thriller of the highest quality." ( Daily Mail)

This narrator's female voice is absolutely horrible. He makes every woman sound like a weak, whiny, nag ... this is the first time that the narration has been bad enough to make me comment on it in a review. I will avoid this narrator at all costs, it ruins the book.

Good story, narration distractingly bad

fantastic

This is a well crafted story. Each character comes alive as his or her story is told and the descriptions of places are beautifully painted. Most of all, it’s an excellent page turner. I didn’t know what would happen until the last few minutes of the tape.

Fascinating

a wonderful story I love how you got to know the background to each person on the plane. it was a juicy audiobook to listen to and kept me going on my long drives

couldn't stop listening

A refreshing approach, each chapter takes you further and further into the lives of the characters, and how they all intertwine around the central event. I really enjoyed the writing style and the depth of character background stories. I thought the narrator did a great job.

Unique storytelling
