Produktbeschreibung

What really happened on Flight 8414? What would a meticulous investigation reveal - beyond the official explanation? Was it technical or political failure that led to the disaster? Was it calculated - or was it an attack? When an aircraft operated by German airline Germanair crashes in the French Alps, investigators and the media present a seemingly clear explanation: the co-pilot deliberately crashed the plane. But for Sophie Thalberg, a journalist and former partner of the co-pilot, this picture does not make sense. She begins her own investigation and uncovers a deliberate cover-up. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: her ex-boyfriend was not the problem. It was a system that needed someone to blame - no matter what the cost. The novel is inspired by the real crash of Germanwings flight 4U9525 in March 2015. However, it deliberately breaks with the conventional suicide theory and asks: What if we were told the wrong story back then?
