Munich Airport
What you need to know before your trail
An American expat in London, about to enter a meeting, takes a phone call. The caller is a German policewoman. The news she has to convey is almost incomprehensible: the man’s sister, Miriam, has been found dead in her Berlin flat, of starvation.
Three weeks later, the man, his elderly father, and an American consular official find themselves in an almost unbearably strange place: a fogbound Munich Airport, where Miriam’s coffin is to be loaded onto a commercial jet. What could have led to her death in this way?

Inside Munich airport
There’s not many people who enjoy being stranded in a fog -bound airport but when you’re bringing a loved one’s body home, and you’re sitting waiting for the fog to lift, it’s probably worse than most.
This is the story of three people who are in that dilemma who have been brought together by circumstance and so together try to talk and keep each other company whilst being in a very strange situation.
At least now there is a novel actually written in an airport so you can read one in situ when you next get stuck.
