Headwind by John J Nance
As a Boeing 737 noses into its gate at Athens airport, the crew is suddenly confronted by Greek officials intent on removing one of their passengers - a former US President. Fearing the man's life may be in danger, Captain Craig Dayton stages an uncleared take-off down a vacant runway. There's an Interpol warrant out for John Harris's arrest, which would extradite him to Peru to face a show trial on charges of condoning torture and murder while at the White House. Almost every nation is obliged to honour that warrant, ensuring his public humiliation and imprisonment on a dubious charge. Sill determined to protect him, Dayton and his crew commence a round-the-clock mission - from Greece to Sicily to Ireland - seeking some safe haven for this newest international pariah. Meanwhile, at ground level, Harris's dishevelled lawyer is wrestling single-handed with an international elite of legal sharks snapping for their biggest prize yet.
A decorated pilot of Vietnam and Operation Desert Storm, John J. Nance is aviation consultant for the ABC television network, and airline correspondent for Good Morning America, having logged over 10,000 hours of flight time in his commercial-airline and Air Force careers. He lives in Washington State.
