1980, Mississippi's Pass Christian: Bobby Western jumps off the boat deck into the dark at three in the morning after zipping the jacket off his wetsuit. The sinking plane is illuminated by his divelight, revealing nine people still firmly seated, their hair floating and their eyes vacant of curiosity. The tenth passenger, the black box of the aircraft, and the pilot's flight bag are missing from the accident scene. However, how? Western, a bystander to events that can only end badly for him, is physically and mentally followed by men wearing badges, his father's ghost, the man who created the bomb that burned human flesh and glass in Hiroshima, and his sister, the love of his life and the cause of his downfall.
The Passenger is a gripping story about science and morality, the aftermath of sin, and the chaos that is human awareness that takes the reader throughout the American South, from the boisterous bar rooms of New Orleans to an abandoned oil rig off the coast of Florida.
