London to Chicago Jay Sharman

While en route from London to Chicago, Mike Drinkwater becomes an accidental hero when he steps in to prevent a seemingly unavoidable plane crash. It's more than enough to gain him the admiration of Chicagoans-and the affections of an attractive newspaper reporter. A near disaster in midair would be enough adventure for most men, but Mike has a knack for getting in and out of dangerous situations-a gift that garners him a job in charge of airport security. Once in his new position, the Englishman finds himself dealing with terrorists, drug dealers, and airport sabotage. His willingness to face any threat brings him to the attention of the FBI, who have their own reasons for needing a man inside the airport. Meanwhile, Mike strikes up a passionate romance with Jane, a beautiful American journalist. Something isn't quite right, however. Journalist or not, Jane works the strangest hours and sometimes simply disappears. Is her brutal ex-boyfriend to blame for her behaviour, or is she yet another threat to Mike's life and reputation. Filled with nonstop adventure, London to Chicago introduces the world to a tenacious underdog who never shies away from a challenge.
