Synopsis
"The Paine Protocol has everything audiences love: intrigue, heart, & a powerful emotional core.
This has all the elements of a major motion picture."
-- Ron Hall, New York Times Bestselling Author, Same Kind of Different as Me (& Paramount Picture)
________
Is Daddy Coming Home?
That was five-year-old Mark Paine Fisher’s question after his father, Captain Robert T. Paine, USAF, died in a mysterious 1966 plane crash in West Texas.
- A small aircraft.
- A training flight.
- A young father who never came home.
For nearly sixty years, that was the story Mark carried with him.
Then he started asking questions.
What began as a son’s search to understand the father he barely knew led to family silence, missing pieces, unanswered questions, and a Cold War world where not everything was meant to be explained.
And somewhere along the way, the question of a five-year-old boy became the question of a grown man:
What did they hide?
That question sent Mark down a rabbit hole and ultimately became The Paine Protocol.
Blending true events, family history, fiction, imagination, and Cold War suspense, The Paine Protocol is a fast-moving thriller about a son searching for the truth about a father who disappeared from his life before he was old enough to understand what death meant.
But the real mystery runs deeper than a plane crash.
What happens inside a little boy when Daddy never comes home?
What does he carry into adulthood, marriage, fatherhood, and eventually grandfatherhood when the first great loss of his life was never fully understood?
And what happens when, nearly sixty years later, he finally goes looking for answers?
For readers who love Cold War intrigue, true-story-inspired thrillers, family mysteries, fathers and sons, and stories where the search for truth becomes deeply personal, The Paine Protocol asks a question bigger than what happened on one flight in 1966.
The deepest mystery wasn’t only what happened to his father.
It was what his father’s disappearance did to the son.
He began with one question:
Is Daddy coming home?
Nearly sixty years later, another question took its place:
What did they hide?
