The Passenger

Beskrivelse

In the dead of night, Bobby Western dives into the depths to investigate a mysterious plane wreck. What he discovers beneath the water raises more questions than answers, pulling him into a dangerous web of secrets and shadows.

A gripping tale of mystery, morality, and the haunting legacy of the past.

At three in the morning, Bobby Western fastens his wetsuit and plunges into darkness from a boat deck. His dive light reveals a submerged jet, its nine passengers still strapped in their seats. Yet, the plane’s black box and a tenth passenger are nowhere to be found. How is that possible?

Bobby becomes an unwilling witness to forces that threaten his very existence. He is pursued relentlessly-both physically by men with badges, and spiritually by the ghost of his father, the creator of the atomic bomb, as well as by his sister, who embodies both love and destruction in his life.

From the smoky bars of New Orleans to a deserted oil rig off Florida’s coast, The Passenger explores the complex intersections of science and morality, the burden of inherited sin, and the madness embedded in human consciousness. This novel stands as one of Cormac McCarthy’s final masterpieces, showcasing the work of a true American literary legend.
