She Loved Him. She Knew Him. Didn't She?
Captain Duncan Abernathy crashed a plane on takeoff, killing forty-six people. The official cause? Pilot error. He used the wrong runway.
Indy Abernathy doesn't believe it. Her husband flew that route every week. He knew that airport by heart. He wasn't reckless. He wasn't careless. He wasn't the man they're saying he was.
But Duncan isn't here to explain.
Except… he is. From somewhere beyond reach, Duncan is still watching—desperate to understand how everything went wrong. Because he knows one thing for certain: It doesn't make sense.
As grief turns to blame and lawsuits mount, Indy vows to clear his name. But the deeper she digs, the more the story fractures—and the man she loved slips out of focus. Even Duncan begins to question his own story. Did a simple mistake cause the crash, or was it something much bigger? What really happened on that runway?
About the Author
Michelle Gable is the New York Times bestselling author of eight novels.
She grew up in San Diego and was the kind of kid who checked out a
dozen library books at a time, only to return a week later to check out a
dozen more. In fourth grade, her parents gave her a book called
Someday You’ll Write and a new passion was born. According to lifelong
friends, Michelle tried to turn every playdate and slumber party into a
writing group.
After graduating high school, Michelle attended The College of William
& Mary and majored in…accounting. As would-be writers do. Although
she pursued a career in finance and investor relations, through it all,
Michelle wrote and her first novel, A Paris Apartment, was published in
2014. Today you can find Michelle writing or working in Cardiff-by-the-
Sea, CA, where she lives with her family, which includes two jindos
rescued from the dog meat trade.
