James Collard and his son Nick are flying from Frankfurt to New York for Christmas in 1988. Collard (in part because of a last-minute work meeting, in part because a strange old man told him not to get on the plane) gets off in London. Later that night he learns that the plane has exploded over Lockerbie. Initially concerned to discover whether his son made the flight, Collard gets dragged into the mystery of who put the bomb on the plane, and whether a legendary old spook called James Jesus Angleton - who died three years before - was somehow involved....

Recensione:

* Praise for THE PASSENGER:
- 'An impressive tour de force of historical, political and criminal skulduggery, a kaleidoscopic collage of conspiracy and betrayal' GUARDIAN
'A skilful, unsettling work, whose narrative shifts and fractures until the book's surprisingly poignant denouement. While politicians stumble, it is left to novelists to make sense of the world. This book shows how' ECONOMIST
- 'The mother of all conspiracy theories' THE TIMES
- 'An adventure story but also a sophisticated, serious 'think piece' with multiple messages, all cynical, worldly and credible' LITERARY REVIEW
