Chapters 1 through 10 Summary

On October 12, 1991, Suleiman Aziz Ammar, posing as an airline Captain Dale Lemke, boards an VIP plane carrying a group of UN and World Bank officials. Lemke takes the plane off course and drops their flying altitude. He informs the crew that he's not to be disturbed then appears to stumble, injecting his flight crew with a poison called sarin which results in almost instant death. He then opens a door in the plane's underbelly and parachutes out, near where his crew are waiting. He has set the plane for a collision course and waits for it to crash into the ocean. As Ammar and his team watch, the plane doesn't crash as expected but Ammar says that he's considered every contingency and that the plane - with UN Egyptian official Hala Kamil on board - will crash and that no one has a chance of survival.
