Dying to Win

Rick Parker thinks his target will be easy to catch: a middle class soccer dad accused of assaulting another dad during a match. But the man has vanished into thin air and for once, Parker believes his family had nothing to do with it. He establishes that the man had a second identity unknown to his wife and daughter. For once, it wasn't to have a second wife and family. The man is an airline pilot with a flawless service record who seemed to come out of nowhere twenty years ago. Parker sends an associate to check out some clues and before he can blink the police find the associate dead of gruesome injuries. Parker books a flight out of San Francisco that he thinks his target is on and discovers after takeoff that their destination has been changed into something sinister beyond belief.
