Publisher's 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.

Night Fall

Night Fall had almost everything I enjoy in a read. The ending was good and surprising. However, as a fan and a reader, I was invested in the storyline, which needed the final moments to tie up ends, and they were dangling. Hopefully, Demille's next book will pick up where this one ended. I still loved this book, and a review of 4 stars is quite good.
Thank you.

Could be true

This book brings to life an alternative 'what if' the eyewitness accounts are true. Remember it happened during an election year and and the NTSB investigates airline crashes, not the FBI except in this case. Read Jack Cashill's 'First Strike' if you have any doubts that the official version of events just doesn't add up.

Disappointing

I was very disappointed with this one. In some respects it?s okay, but the story is very thin, extremely predictable and the ending is an anti-climax from hell!

Sorry but "Who Cares"

You'd have to be very curious about the TWA July 1996 plane crash to care about contents of this book. Nothing new is revealed. Seemed like a bad, long episode of CSI.
