When the mysterious Jean More dies in the small plane she learned to fly just two weeks earlier, she leaves her paramour David Lum with seemingly unanswerable questions: How had she come by the scars on her body? Why was she wanted by the FBI? What was the hidden purpose of her final flight? The puzzle of Jean’s past leads David overseas to Paris, where he finds Jean’s spirit burning bright in her long-lost daughter, and discovers the horror that connects Jean to a nuclear power plant. David’s own life ultimately becomes forfeit as he finds himself adopting Jean’s secret mission as his own. Originally published in 1981, The Kleber Flight is Hans Koning’s eighth novel. It has, as Shirley Hazzard wrote, “a great and terrible theme”— the threat of nuclear war itself.
