After his plane to Greece is hijacked, Canadian Michael Barrett finds himself in Ukraine on the run from the Mafia, in the company of his mysterious Ukrainian seat-mate, Dmitri. As Michael and Dmitri try to stay ahead of the pursuing Mafia, Michael struggles to figure out who to trust. In a country where bribery is rampant, and authorities are suspect, his only resource is the morose Dmitri, who is hiding his share of secrets. As the two fugitives race through the Ukrainian countryside in a desperate attempt to reach the border, catastrophe strikes, testing the tentative bond between them, and jeopardizing their hope of survival.

Doug Morrison has made many trips to Ukraine, doing volunteer work with both young people and adults. His experiences and impressions of his adopted country were the basis of his first book, Course Correction. His love of the tropics and all places warm, along with his experience as a flight instructor and charter pilot, served to inspire this sequel, which is his second novel. When not reading, writing, or dreaming of flying, he finds time for the odd cruise in his vintage muscle car. He currently lives and works in Lacombe, Alberta, but dreams of the day he can move to Barbados.
