Authors on Tap: T.J. Newman and Keir Graff

Please join us in store on Tuesday, June 6th at 7pm to help celebrate T.J. Newman's new novel, Drowning:  The Rescue of Flight 1421. We hosted T.J. for her instant best selling debut novel, Falling, last year and we are thrilled to welcome her back! T.J. will be in conversation with Exile MVP Keir Graff!

About Drowning:  The Rescue of Flight 1421:

Flight attendant turned New York Times bestselling author T. J. Newman--whose first book Falling was an instant #1 national bestseller and the biggest thriller debut of 2021--returns for her second book, an edge-of-your-seat thriller about a commercial jetliner that crashes into the ocean, and sinks to the bottom with passengers trapped inside, and the extraordinary rescue operation to save them.

Six minutes after takeoff, Flight 1421 crashes into the Pacific Ocean. During the evacuation, an engine explodes and the plane is flooded. Those still alive are forced to close the doors--but it's too late. The plane sinks to the bottom with twelve passengers trapped inside. 

More than two hundred feet below the surface, engineer Will Kent and his eleven-year-old daughter Shannon are waist-deep in water and fighting for their lives. 

Their only chance at survival is an elite rescue team on the surface led by professional diver Chris Kent--Shannon's mother and Will's soon-to-be ex-wife--who must work together with Will to find a way to save their daughter and rescue the passengers from the sealed airplane, which is now teetering on the edge of an undersea cliff. 

There's not much time. 

There's even less air. 

With devastating emotional power and heart-stopping suspense, Drowning is an unforgettable thriller about a family's desperate fight to save themselves and the people trapped with them--against impossible odds.
