Shadow on the Wing

From the author of the highly-acclaimed debut "The Golden Door" comes a novel that captures the spirit of the 1920s in America and the tumultuous decades that follow. This is a story of obsession, of mystery and ultimately of crime. Charles Lindbergh thrilled the world by becoming the first lone pilot to cross the Atlantic. Soon after he landed, however, the flight log from the Spirit of St Louis was stolen from the aeroplane's cockpit. That much is fact...Hella Koll first encounters and falls in love with the charismatic young flier in Minnesota in 1923, long before his world famous flight. By 1927, Hella is a rich woman and believes that they are destined to be together. Her obsession moves from the man to his possessions and her desire eventually focuses on the stolen flight log. When the log mysteriously becomes available on the Black Market, Hella and her son travel to the home of a shady millionaire in Depression-torn Key West. There she discovers that she is not the only person trying to obtain it.
