Summary

"En una nublada noche de verano, once personas despegan en un jet privado rumbo a Nueva York. Diez de ellas pertenecen a la alta sociedad de Estados Unidos. El undécimo pasajero es Scott Burroughs, un artista en horas bajas. Dieciséis minutos después sucede lo impensable: el avión se estrella en el océano. Solo sobrevivirán el pintor y un niño de cuatro años, último miembro de una familia rica y poderosa. A medida que se descubre la historia de cada uno de los pasajeros, afloran extrañas coincidencias que apuntan a una conspiración. ¿Fue simple casualidad que perecieran en un accidente algunas de las figuras más influyentes de la televisión y de Wall Street? Pronto empieza una campaña de acoso mediático que amenaza con hundir a Scott, quien luchará por mantenerse a flote mientras las autoridades porfían en encontrar la verdad entre los escombros del accidente."--Amazon
On a foggy summer night, eleven people -- ten privileged, one down-on-his-luck painter -- depart Martha's Vineyard on a private jet headed for New York. Sixteen minutes later, the unthinkable happens: the plane plunges into the ocean. The only survivors are Scott Burroughs -- the painter -- and a four-year-old boy, who is now the last remaining member of an immensely wealthy and powerful media mogul's family. With chapters weaving between the aftermath of the crash and the backstories of the passengers and crew members -- including a Wall Street titan and his wife, a Texan-born party boy just in from London, a young woman questioning her path in life, and a career pilot -- the mystery surrounding the tragedy heightens. As the passengers' intrigues unravel, odd coincidences point to a conspiracy. Was it merely by dumb chance that so many influential people perished? Or was something far more sinister at work? Events soon threaten to spiral out of control in an escalating storm of media outrage and accusations. And while Scott struggles to cope with fame that borders on notoriety, the authorities scramble to salvage the truth from the wreckage
