On a foggy summer night, eleven people--ten privileged, one down-on-his-luck painter--depart Martha's Vineyard on a private jet headed for New York.

On a foggy summer night, eleven people--ten privileged, one down-on-his-luck painter--depart Martha's Vineyard on a private jet headed for New York. Sixteen minutes later, the unthinkable happens: the plane plunges into the ocean. The only survivors are Scott Burroughs--the painter--and a four-year-old boy, who is now the last remaining member of an immensely wealthy and powerful media mogul's family.
With chapters weaving between the aftermath of the crash and the backstories of the passengers and crew members--including a Wall Street titan and his wife, a Texan-born party boy just in from London, a young woman questioning her path in life, and a career pilot--the mystery surrounding the tragedy heightens. As the passengers' intrigues unravel, odd coincidences point to a conspiracy. Was it merely by dumb chance that so many influential people perished? Or was something far more sinister at work? Events soon threaten to spiral out of control in an escalating storm of media outrage and accusations. And while Scott struggles to cope with fame that borders on notoriety, the authorities scramble to salvage the truth from the wreckage.
Amid pulse-quickening suspense, the fragile relationship between Scott and the young boy glows at the heart of this stunning novel, raising questions of fate, human nature, and the inextricable ties that bind us together.

我很喜欢这个故事,喜欢作者夹在Scott/Gus视角中扯的闲篇。命运的随机性,表象与事实,人在事后回顾中对任意两个随机事件建立联系的冲动,媒体树立英雄再推倒英雄的循环,24小时新闻的武断和对隐私的侵袭…这本书是包装在悬疑小说的外壳下的一些对时下生活的思考。坠机故事的结局/真相蛮好的,和这本书的主题很契合;但小说的结尾有点仓促。

空难的真相未必引人注目,而有关新闻伦理的一瞥,无疑意义更为重大。新闻从业人员的职业道德,如果被资本绑架,惟噱头马首是瞻,是何等的可悲!

补马。这本书的重点在人物塑造上,悬疑并不强,就一个迷吊你胃口,骗你看了很多人物故事,提供的线索也不多,到结局揭晓谜底的时候非常失望。。。
