The Last Hostage (The Kat Bronsky Thrillers #1) by John J. Nance
Unrated

An FBI hostage negotiator confronts a commercial pilot who has hijacked his own plane in this spellbinding thriller from New York Times–bestselling author John J. Nance

Airline pilot Ken Wolfe does not rattle easily. But when he learns that Rudolph Bostich is on his flight, his face goes pale. Bostich, the presumptive nominee for US Attorney General, bungled the case against the man who kidnapped and killed Wolfe's daughter. The pilot is prepared to do whatever it takes to get revenge—even setting off a bomb on a plane full of passengers.

FBI agent, psychologist, and rookie hostage negotiator Kat Bronsky now has one hundred and thirty lives riding on her every word. As Bronsky speaks with the volatile Wolfe, she realizes she must solve the mystery of an eleven-year-old girl's murder—in a matter of hours—to avert disaster.
