First Class Killing

Front Cover
Simon & Schuster, Apr 1, 2004 - Fiction - 384 pages
Corruption. Deceit. Cold-blooded murder. These skies are far from friendly. Tough, resourceful, and beautiful, Alex Shanahan survived the cutthroat corporate world on her own terms. But now, she's using her hard-earned experience for herself -- as a private investigator. Alex is hired to check out an airline that's been serving more than just complimentary peanuts: there's a high-end prostitution ring catering to first-class passengers. Alex goes undercover as a flight attendant to infiltrate the group, and gets more than she bargained for as she gets closer to the cunning and dangerous woman who runs it...close enough to kill. When her cover is blown, she knows it's only a matter of time before her next flight is her last....
