“High Wire” by Kam Majd has been released worldwide. This riveting, 286-page novel, which has achieved Amazon Bestseller status as the #1 New Release and #2 Bestseller in the “Terrorism” category, and #35 in the “Political” category, follows Captain Kate Gallagher, an airline pilot who finds herself under vicious scrutiny in the aftermath of a plane crash. Unbeknownst to the public, a computer virus has caused the crash, and Captain Gallagher must face humiliation and blame, fighting impossible odds to clear her name – all while trying to protect her young daughter in the process.
Kate is a widow, a mother, and a first generation immigrant whose drive to do the right thing finds her in the midst of a treacherous plot. As the story unfolds, she uncovers a massive conspiracy and the target of the next attack. With less than two hours before 262 passengers are dead, Kate Gallagher will climb her way back into the pilot’s seat, and up into the air in a life-and-death race against time with the computer code that is wired, running, and ready to kill again…. And the price for saving all those lives may be only one: hers.
Called “absorbing and seductive” by Publishers Weekly, this compelling novel pits a practical, sympathetic heroine against the worst humanity has to offer.
An Edgar® Award finalist, this suspenseful novel draws on the author’s 44 years of piloting experience to provide a deep look into aviation technology and security, and his own background as an immigrant to breathe life and nuance into Captain Gallagher.
Blacklist and Friday Night Lights’ screenwriter Patrick Masset describes the novel as, “A thrilling ride all the way from the brilliant setup to the gripping payoff. Kate Gallagher is a first-rate progressive heroine… She’s Erin Brockovich meets Jack Ryan.”
An intense, unpredictable ride from start to finish, the book combines the big thrills of action and mystery with the relatability of an “everywoman” main character that drives readers to question how they would contend with similar circumstances, and keeps them in the grips of excitement throughout.
High Wire (ISBN: 9781960142924 / 9781960142733) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Barnes and Noble and Amazon. The paperback retails for $14.95, and the hardcover retails for $24.95. Wholesale orders are available through Ingram. Review copies and interviews are available upon request.

From the back cover:
A WOMAN STANDS ACCUSED
BUT THE COST TO PROVE HER INNOCENCE
MAY JUST BE HER LIFE
Captain Kate Gallagher has a plane to land and a daughter to get home to. But first, she’s got to contend with a confrontational co-pilot, blizzard conditions, and something far more treacherous–a plane contaminated with a lethal computer virus. When the controls refuse to respond to her commands, she has two choices: Turn the plane around or trust her instinct.
One day later, the world’s press is picking through the mangled remains of Flight 394 and crying pilot error. To clear her name, Kate must endure humiliation and blame, and the risk to herself and her family, until she comes face to face with the madman who created the virus. There, she uncovers a shocking conspiracy that has already zeroed in on a new target: another plane, another deadly disaster.
With only seconds to save the 262 passengers on board, Kate Gallagher will fight her way back into the pilot’s seat and up into the air, in a life-and-death race against time, and a computer virus that is wired, running, and ready to kill again. And the price for saving all those lives may be only one… hers.
