SILENT SKIES: an investigative thriller
What really happened on Flight 8414? What would a meticulous investigation reveal – beyond the official explanation? Was it technical or political failure that led to the disaster? Was it calculated – or was it an attack? When an aircraft operated by German airline Germanair crashes in the French Alps, investigators and the media present a seemingly clear explanation: the co-pilot deliberately crashed the plane. But for Sophie Thalberg, a journalist and former partner of the co-pilot, this picture does not make sense. She begins her own investigation and uncovers a deliberate cover-up. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: her ex-boyfriend was not the problem. It was a system that needed someone to blame – no matter what the cost. The novel is inspired by the real crash of Germanwings flight 4U9525 in March 2015. However, it deliberately breaks with the conventional suicide theory and asks: What if we were told the wrong story back then?

Table of Contents

When a Germanair plane crashes in the French Alps, investigators and the media present a seemingly clear explanation: the co-pilot deliberately crashed the plane. But for Sophie Thalberg, a journalist and former partner of the co-pilot, this picture does not add up. She begins her own investigation and uncovers a deliberate cover-up. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: it wasn't her ex-boyfriend who was the problem. It was a system that needs someone to blame - whatever the cost.

The novel is inspired by the real crash of Germanwings flight 4U9525 in March 2015. However, it deliberately breaks with the prevailing suicide theory and asks: What if we were told the wrong story back then?
