One-time-only printing at a special discount price: the acclaimed, bestselling thriller about the only two survivors of a devastating plane crash from Noah Hawley, author of the forthcoming Anthem (GCP, 01/18/22).

On a foggy summer night, eleven people--ten privileged residents, 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.

Amid pulse-quickening suspense, the fragile relationship between Scott and the young boy glows at the heart of this stunning novel, raising questions of fate, human nature, and the inextricable ties that bind us together.

An interesting read!

Sandra H. - 1 year 7 months ago

Before the Fall explores why a plane crashed and how two of the passengers survived. It is a great mystery, but it also explores how the world treats common people who become heroes. With great character development, the author helps the reader get to know the passengers, the survivors, and the FBI agents investigating the crash. I highly recommend Before the Fall.

Would You Choose to Survive?

Victoria L. - 6 years 1 month ago

Before the Fall is an engrossing psychological mystery that unfolds during, after, and before the events of a fatal, private-jet crash. Hawley submerges us into each character's psyche as we try to piece together what caused the crash. And, most elusively, why? When a great circumstance is thrust upon us, will we choose to survive? this book might just light the way!
