Night Flight

Night Flight is a riveting, memorable read--Midwest Book Review

Night Flight will have you turning thepages in this true crime-inspired story where greed and complicated families converge in a deadly plot. Innocence, once lost, can never be recovered.--James L'Etoile, award-winning author of River of Lies and Face of Greed

Author Anne Da Vigo's newest thriller brings readers a dark, twisty mystery of youthful longing, obsession, love, and the power of family to ruin or heal our lives.

It's 1955 in Denver, Colorado. Hannah Brightman is a lonely 17-year-old still mourning the death of her mother and at odds with her father's new family. One frigid winter night at a skating party, she meets Jack, a handsome married man.

Flattered by his attention, Hannah begins an affair, but quickly realizes Jack is a violent man nursing deep, long-held grievances.

The clock is ticking as Hannah struggles to break off the relationship, but Jack lures her further into a vortex of greed and revenge. Can she extricate herself before he launches his plan?

Night Flight is a mystery inspired by a real crime almost forgotten today--one of the most horrendous mass murders of the 20th century.

Anne Da Vigo is a journalist and novelist who covered murder and mayhem on the police and court beats during nearly twenty years working for newspapers. She grew up in Denver, and as a junior high school student remembers reports of one of the most horrendous sabotage events of the 20th century-the bombing of United Airlines Flight 629. The plane took off from Denver's Stapleton Airfield. The crime-nearly forgotten today-is especially vivid because the bomber, John Gilbert Graham, attended her church. Da Vigo didn't know him, but eerie connections to the event remained with her. Finally, she set aside another nearly finished thriller to write the twisty, absorbing story of a fictional girl and a real killer in Night Flight. Her two prior thrillers also were inspired by real events. Bakersfield Boys Club is based on a long-ago murder series in California's Central Valley. It was a finalist in Killer Nashville competition.Thread of Gold, a three-generational story of greed and intrigue set in New York's Finger Lakes region, won rave reviews when it was published in 2017.
