Noah Hawley - Pred pádom

Pravda na dne oceánu Mal to byť krátky bezproblémový let, akých sa denne udeje niekoľko desiatok. Súkromné lietadlo dvoch amerických milionárov s rodinami a jeden skrachovaný umelec. Všetko šlo hladko. Až kým osemnásť minút po odlete lietadlo nezačne strmo klesať k hladine mora. Je to chyba pilotov alebo cielený útok na bohatých cestujúcich?
