description: Global Universal Airlines is fighting for survival. America's leading air carrier, it is locked in a bitter takeover fight with a powerful conglomerate run by a vicious recluse who threatens to seize everything Ben Buck, its aging CEO, has built. Then disaster strikes: A 747 plummets from the skies killing over three hundred people. And then another. The FBI suspects sabotage by terrorists.Will Nye, the airline's brilliant lawyer, believes it's the ruthless corporate raider. Where and when will the killer strike next? Nye is obsessed with stopping the perpetrator before he brings down another airliner, killing more people and plunging the company itself into disaster. Behind the corporate drama is a private one in which Nye must choose between two beautiful women, each determined to make him her own: Belinda, a flamboyant celebrity-artist; and Donna, a lively flight attendant about to take off on a fateful flight.Culminating in a heart-stopping confrontation with the killer on the very eve of the stockholder's vote, Stalking the Sky is both an inside look at the great airlines and a gripping, brilliantly-imagined adventure tale with a startling ending.A story so gripping, so convincing, you'll be glad it's fiction.Contains an excerpt from Amiel's A QUESTION OF PROOF.
