Before the Fall + The Aviation
“Before the Fall” by Noah Hawley starts out straight in the action, when 11 people board a private jet flying from Martha’s Vineyard to New York only to suddenly crash into the ocean. The sole survivors of the foggy night’s tragedy are the unknown painter, Scott Burroughs, and the four-year old son of a wealthy media mogul. This thriller continues to unfold along with the fragile relationship between Scott and the young boy. In true thriller form, there are a lot of wrongfully accused people, convoluted plot turns, and innocent people scrambling for the truth. (Published by Grand Central Publishing)
