Hank and Jacob Mitchell discover a crashed plane on their way to visit their father’s grave site. Along with Jacob’s friend Lou, they find a dead pilot and a large quantity of money on board, and Hank comes up with the idea of holding the money in secret until they can be sure that the police aren’t looking for it, then split it three ways. But as Lou becomes increasingly eager for his share in the money, Hank realises he may have to resort to drastic action to ensure they can keep the money.
This is a very well paced book, which slowly but surely changes Hank Mitchell’s character into something of a mad man. There are a few moments that didn’t really flow very well, such as the chapter where Hank tries to retrieve some of the money from a shop, but other than these small moments where the story seems to be going off on a tangent, this is a very well written first novel.
