Pt. 2

Their far-reaching operatives have made additional moves by kidnapping a woman in Virginia, and in Maryland, a mother and her young daughter. The women, strangers bound in terror miles apart, have something else in common—both their husbands, high-powered bankers, are aboard the doomed flight. Jack begins to fear that the hijacker’s motives extend beyond their radical beliefs. On ground, his suspicions are confirmed by Alicia when she discovers that Gilliad is a munitions expert with mad visions of nuclear grandeur. Unfortunately, there’s only one way to stop him—by blowing the airliner out of the sky. Either way, the terrifying situation will be positively explosive.
