One missing pilot. Two bodies.
Engineer and pilot Dr David Jones has retired from the Royal Air Force and is deciding what to do with the next phase of his life. An old friend offers a challenge: an aeroplane and its millionaire pilot have gone missing in Nevada.
Uncovering conspiracy within conspiracy, he will face dangers on the ground and in the air. Facing murder and espionage, he'll need to use every skill he learned in the military- and more.
The first Dr David "Indy" Jones Thriller.
Top reviews!
"Really enjoyable book with plenty of detail and dry humour! A great plot and a real page turner - was hard to out the book down! Read it over a couple of days and am looking forward to the next novel being release next year."
"Hugely enjoyable thriller, with a lot of aviation detail, written by someone who clearly knows a lot about that world. I don't usually read much, but I found this hard to put down. I'm looking forward to the second one!"
"Great read from a new author and happy to see there will be a second book. Good story, well paced and kept you intrigued with a few twists and turns. Looking forward to the next Dr 'Indy' Jones outing."
"A fast and frothy page-turner that sees Dr David Jones travel to the USA to investigate a missing aircraft near Lake Tahoe. Dr Jones appears to be a cross between Bear Grylls, James Bond and Biggles. I quickly inhaled the book and look forwards to the next promised Dr Jones story."
"I’m glad I stumbled across this little gem, it’s a bit of a cross between Nevil Shute and Brian Lecomber. So when I finished it after only a day I was very glad to see that it’s only the first. It’s always nice to find a new author that you get along with."
Guy Gratton has been a published writer since he was 16, working on aircraft since he was 18, and flying since he was 19. Now as Professor of Aircraft Test and Evaluation at Cranfield University, he's an acknowledged expert on many areas of aviation, and a prolific author of books and papers. His first novel, Wings on a Mountain, came out in late June 2026.
