Wings of Fear

Monica returned to America, regretting never telling John she was in love with him, even though he and Linda were engaged. Five years later, Monica is in New York, far from wartorn Europe, when she receives a cryptic message from Linda begging for help. Eric is skeptical that the note is real, but it doesn't explain how someone other than Linda would have connected her to Monica. Then Eric is murdered in Monica's apartment.

Traveling on a series of connected flights, Monica runs into Gibbs Brooke, now an army captain, who is also en route to Mexico City. Grateful for Gibbs's presence, and nervous about seeing John again, Monica wonders about the coincidences reuniting her group of friends. And the coincidences turn deadly when she arrives at her final destination and finds herself embroiled in a conspriacy of espionage, betrayal, and death . . .
