Summary

Based on true events, but unlike anything you've ever read before, #1 New York Times best-selling author Nelson DeMille has created what may be his finest work to date.

At dusk on July 17, 1996, on a deserted Long Island beach, a man and a woman engage in adulterous sex in front of a video camera. Suddenly a terrible blast lights up the dark summer sky. TWA Flight 800 has just exploded in midair with 230 souls on board, and the video camera has recorded the last moments of the doomed airliner.

Five years later, the government has declared the crash a result of mechanical failure. But John Corey, an ex-NYPD detective who is now a contract agent with the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force, is persuaded by Kate Mayfield, his wife and task force partner, that the case deserves a second look.

Kate, a career FBI agent, plays by the rules. Corey plays by no rules but his own. Against long odds and warnings from their superiors, they set out to reopen the case and discover its most crucial piece of evidence. The hunt will lead to a conspiracy at the highest levels and a race toward an elusive and lethal truth that could be even more horrifying than the crash of Flight 800, one with unimaginable consequences for America...and the world.

Great story, comical (occasional) music

Listened to this one after The Panther and was pleased that although shorter the story was just as good. I was also pleased that the Panther didn't have the da-da-da-this-bit's-tension background music inflicted on it. Only comes up a few times in this book and while it doesn't spot things (I just found myself rolling my eyes) it's unnecessary. We know something is tense because the author and actor are good at their jobs. I still recommend the book and am ready to download another.

Surprised me

Going in I wasn't sure about a book involving factual events but I've read others in the series so thought I'd give it a chance. Then the first chapter with it's graphic sex scene put me off even further, which is what cost my review one of its stars. The rest of the book though was a revelation, very enjoyable and not the half-documentary I was worried about.

Night Fall

I could not stop listening to this book, excellently read, it weaves a story that has a very dramatic conclusion. It touched my mind and my heart. I will listen to more of this author He is very exciting to listen to and the plot is very intelligent.
This is a must read to all.
Loved it.

Top class entertainment

Very enjoyable old school rouge cop drama. Full of laugh out loud noire cop novel clichés and dialog. Scott Brick's delivery of cop John Cory's best lines are worth the ticket price alone.
The story is framed around the post TWA800 crash inter agency investigation controversy and a missing video tape of the crash.
Considering the subject matter the author's approach was much lighter than I expected. None of the rage and cynicism that for example James Ellroy would have brought to the same subject.
If you've watched a few of the documentaries about the crash this could provide some interesting light relief. And vica versa, if you enjoy the novel then a digger deep into the investigation could prove eye opening.
