وصف الناشر
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 the painter Scott Burroughs and a four-year-old boy, who is now the last remaining member of an immensely wealthy and powerful media mogul's family.
Was it by chance that so many influential people perished? Or was something more sinister at work? A storm of media attention brings Scott fame that quickly morphs into notoriety and accusations, and he scrambles to salvage truth from the wreckage. Amid trauma and chaos, the fragile relationship between Scott and the young boy grows and glows at the heart of this stunning novel, raising questions of fate, morality, and the inextricable ties that bind us together.
Kristin Hannah raves, "Noah Hawley really knows how to keep a reader turning the pages... a complex, compulsively readable thrill ride of a novel."

Review
For all the hype, this book was mediocre. Not much suspense. No action. Way too much inner dialogue by characters. And the whole Fox News thing was unnecessary.
Disappointing
No spoilers, but it’s a ton of setup for what turns out to be a really dumb ending.
Too much wandering
This author seemed to be all over the place with long descriptions of unrelated things that wasn’t necessary to whatever plot was being told. Stopped listening because story wasn’t going anywhere.
