TwinStar

When a commercial jetliner's flight controls go rogue over the New Mexico desert, the story begins where you'd expect it to: in the cockpit, with the crisis, with the man who thinks he's at the center of it all.

GW Canyon is a tech executive who builds aircraft navigation systems. He is competent, well-intentioned, and absolutely certain he understands the shape of the problem. What he doesn't know-what he may never fully know-is that the women around him have been reading the room for decades. Allison Tobias, his brilliant aeronautics partner, has already mapped three moves he hasn't considered. Connie Finley, Allison's closest friend, has been watching GW's emotional blindspots with the patience of someone who has seen this particular story before. And Tali Gold, the woman GW is about to fall in love with, is the most perceptive person in any room she enters-which means she's also the most dangerous.

TwinStar opens with sabotage and closes with something more complicated: the beginning of a relationship between a man who believes he is the protagonist and the woman who has already written his next chapter. Sharp, romantic, and moving at altitude, it's a thriller built for readers who know that the most consequential intelligence in any crisis is usually in the passenger seat.

For readers of Tana French and Sally Rooney-a literary thriller series where the women have always known the ending.
