Death Flight

Dr. Hope Sze travels to Los Angeles to see John Tucker, the man she is reuniting with. She expects a city of surgically polished socialites, not a fight for survival at 35,000 feet. On the way home, with a thousand miles still to cover and no airport in reach, a passenger's life hangs in the balance, and she and Tucker must act to save him.

Neither doctor has surgical equipment, and no surgeon is on board. Both are first-year family medicine residents with very little experience, yet in the moment they are willing to try anything. Hope feels the weight most heavily, since moments earlier she may have contributed by accident to the death of the man lying at her feet.

Death Flight belongs to the Hope Sze series, which also includes Human Remains, Terminally Ill and Stockholm Syndrome. The book follows Hope's work as a young doctor, mixing practical detail about emergency medicine with murder, suspense and a few romantic complications.
