Ideal for readers of comedic novels with hints of mystery and romance, Gutteridge turns her unique, funny voice toward telling the story of an international flight and the unusual characters on board.

The third book in the Occupational Hazards series, a laugh-out-loud novel about a group of strangers flying from Atlanta to Amsterdam

Blissfully unaware that Atlantica Flight 1945 from Atlanta to Amsterdam is about

to make aviation history, First Officer Danny McSweeney focuses his energies on navigating

the turbulent personalities of an eccentric female captain, a co-pilot with a talent

for tactless comments and conspiracy theories, and a lead flight attendant with an

outsized attitude that definitely exceeds the limits for carry-on baggage.

On the

other side of the cockpit door, the unscheduled in-flight entertainment includes

a potbellied pig, a jittery diamond courier, and the recently jilted Lucy Meredith,

whose personal mantra of ""What Would Oprah Do?"" will be challenged by the sudden

appearance of her ex and his new traveling partner. On her left sits Hank Hazard,

whose unusually polite but constant requests--prompted by his covert role as a spy

for the airline--test the limits of the crew's customer service.

But as Lucy and

the rest of the crew discover, Hank's odd behavior is linked to a quiet faith that

may play a key role in the fate of everyone on board. Especially when an unexpected

traveler sets this already bumpy flight on a course toward the unfriendly skies.
