Publisher's Note
Seven times a nominee for the Shamus Award given by the Private Eye Writers of America, Max Allan Collins has twice been recipient of the honor. His craft has never been as evident as it is in his latest Nathan Heller novel, Flying Blind. Collins’ fictional character has solved some of America’s most notorious crimes including the Lindbergh kidnapping—he’s brought down Al Capone—and uncovered the truth behind the assassination of Huey Long. Now Nathan Heller is faced with something quite different—not a crime but a disappearance. More painful still, the disappearance of someone he’d known long ago, famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart. He’d been hired to protect her years ago after the discovery of threatening letters. But even Nathan Heller couldn’t protect her once she boarded her plane and soared away into the horizon. Now, decades later, he’s about to discover what really happened on that fateful flight. • Flying Blind is the ninth title in the acclaimed and popular Nathan Heller series. • The Nathan Heller series was named among the top five "American Period" mysteries by Library Journal. • Flying Blind coincides with the publication of the Signet edition of Damned in Paradise. • The disappearance of Amelia Earhart continues to mystify audiences. The year is 1970. Nathan Heller has retired from his distinguished career as a private investigator. But now a stranger has come knocking at his door. He wants Heller to travel to Saipan, the last place Amelia Earhart may have been seen alive. For Heller, it is an offer he can't resist - the chance to find out what really happened to the woman he once loved .... Now, decades later, Heller is determined to discover what really happened on that final, fateful flight. It is a journey that will take him to distant, deadly shores, into a world of international intrigue, espionage, betrayal, and finally, to a stunning secret buried at the bottom of the sea, locked away in the vaults of time.
Industry reviews
Blending solid research with reasoned speculation and adding fictional enhancements has proven to be a highly successful formula for eight Nate Heller mysteries, which have explored fascinating events like the Lindbergh kidnapping (Stolen Away, 1991) and the assassination of Huey Long (Blood and Thunder, 1995). In 1970, Chicago-based PI Heller is enjoying semi-retirement in Florida when he's approached by a wealthy Texan interested in making yet another attempt to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Amelia Earhart. This narrative reveals the truth about the disappearance of the world's most famous aviatrix as only Heller knows it, having been hired in 1935 by Earhart's husband, G.P. Putnam, to provide security for one of Earhart's triumphant appearances (this one at Marshall Field's to launch a new line of clothing she had designed). Heller, who became friends with Earhart, agrees to help the curious Texan, and the result is an entertaining and provocative look at Earhart's career and personal life and the "true" story of her ill-fated round-the-world flight in 1937. As usual, Collins provides a final chapter that provides a useful bibliography of source materials and other credits. (Aug.) Bukey
