Flight: Summary and book reviews of Flight by Jan Burke, plus links to an excerpt from Flight and a biography of Jan Burke.

Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Novel, Jan Burke explodes onto the suspense scene with Flight, featuring the hard-edged Detective Frank Harriman, husband of Jan's beloved series heroine Irene Kelly. A family is found murdered. In a cruel twist, one of the Las Piernas Police Department's own, Philip Lefebvre, is suspected of killing the only witness. When that detective disappears, a crime boss goes free. And the LPPD is forever changed. Called in to investigate the wreckage of the missing detective's plane, Frank Harriman is given a set of cold cases that have suddenly become white hot. Detective Harriman's conviction that the LPPD tagged the wrong murder suspect is wildly unpopular. Alone, his instincts and integrity questioned at every turn, Harriman must stop the killer before hundreds of lives, including Harriman's own, are lost.

Media Reviews

Washington Times Flight is a heart-pounding marriage of Jan Burke's intricate plotting   Publisher's Weekly Like Burke's Edgar-winning Bones (1999), this ambitious, if overlong, suspense novel focuses on an intense search for a pathological killer.... This isn't the author's strongest outing, though, and in the long run, sales may not meet the publisher's expectations.   Library Journal This book will whet the appetite of those who have never read any of this series. Start at the beginning with Goodnight, Irene. Highly recommended. Clive Cussler Chilling suspense
