Straight and Level Penelope Haines

In this installment of the Claire Hardcastle Mysteries, pilot Claire once again has her hands full. All she wants is to get through Dry July, look forward to boyfriend Jack's return from overseas and enjoy a quiet life.

If only life were that simple!

Instead, by helping police, she's attracted the attention of some unsavoury characters and a particularly vicious attempt to intimidate her knocks her confidence badly.

When she's kidnapped and forced to fly the criminals to a remote location she finds herself thrust forcibly into a world of eco-terrorism, drug-smuggling and violence. A world that will take all her skills as a pilot to survive.
