Product Description The riveting true story of the F.B.I.'s investigation into the first act of sabotage against a U.S. commercial aircraft, the unprecedented televised trial exposed the murderer's dark motives, and the shock waves that are still reverberating in America's skies and courtrooms decades after the bombing of the "Mainliner Denver." Review "Field uses his legal background to deftly wend his way through the trail of evidence." Denver Post "Andrew J. Field has written a compelling account of the worst case of mass murder committed by one person in Colorado history. Field knows how to tell a story. He has a good eye for the telling and ironic detail." Rocky Mountain News "The research behind this book is exceptional, but the presentation is what draws one into the story. It puts you next to a demented murderer who thought nothing of blowing up over forty people in the night skies of Colorado. Being near a person like this, even in a book, is not a comfortable place to be, but one you don't want to miss." -Michael J. Boyd, aviation consultant and commentator for CNN, PBS, and NPR. "Mainliner Denver is an excellent read from start to finish."
