Flight of Dreams

From the million-copy bestselling author of The Frozen River, this ‘enthralling nail-biter’ (People) of a novel brings the fateful voyage of the Hindenburg to life. 

On the evening of May 3rd, 1937, Emilie Imhoff boards the Hindenburg. The only female crew member, Emilie has access to the entire airship and hears everything, including rumours of bomb threats. But Emilie is focused on hiding a secret she can't afford to share with anyone. Her life depends on it. 

Everyone on board seems to be hiding something, from handsome navigator Max, who is madly in love with Emilie, to the enigmatic German officer with everything to lose. Gertrud, a feisty journalist blacklisted in her native Germany, has stumbled onto the scoop of a lifetime, and a brash American and an enterprising cabin boy are not the only ones racing to discover what she's found before it's too late. 

A spellbinding flight of imagination, romance and suspense set against the 'Titanic of the Skies’, Flight of Dreams will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page. 

‘At every page a guilty secret bobs up; at every page Lawhon keeps us guessing. Who will bring down the Hindenburg? And how?’New York Times Book Review
