Passenger 19 is Silver Winner 2016 Florida Book AwardUSA Today best-sellerAmazon best-sellerJammer Davis has spent most of his life investigating aircraft accidents. When a small regional jet disappears over the jungles of Colombia, it is a tragedy like dozens of others he has seen but for one terrible detail: his young daughter, who was en route to a semester abroad in South America, is listed … daughter, who was en route to a semester abroad in South America, is listed on the passenger manifest.
A distraught Davis rushes to Bogota and bulls his way into the inquiry. When the wreckage is located, it becomes clear the crash was unsurvivable. As the investigation gains momentum, the facts go astray. Two pilots had been shot before the crash, along with one passenger. The possibility of a hijacking looms large as the search begins to focus on two passengers who boarded the plane, yet their remains cannot be found.
Davis uncovers an even more sinister plot behind the entire disaster one that goes to the highest levels of the United States government. But how could it possibly involve his daughter?

I really liked Passenger 19. It was a page turner which kept me awake several nights as I could not wait to see what was going to happen next. I found a new hero in “Jammer”. I would highly recommend it. I will be looking for more books by Ward Larsen, who seem to have a good working knowledge of Colombia. That said, Larsen’s Spanish language usage could use some help.
Great book from start to win short.
Okay story if a little unbelievable. Just don’t see this happening. Don’t see NTSB sending a father to check on a plane crash his daughter was involved in. And, the rest of the plot was over the top also.
Jammer takes on another accident case where loyalty, politics, and questionable characters stand between him and his missing daughter. I took this one on vacation and finished it on day one. Off to read more.
Very timely story line. Enjoyed.
A father’s love for his daughter knows no bounds. When his daughter is listed as being on a small plane that crashed, he rushes to find her. Could she have lived through this crash? This will keep you guessing.
