handsome married man. Flattered by his attention, Hannah begins an affair, but quickly realizes Jack is a violent schemer planning an unthinkable crime. The clock is ticking as she struggles to notify authorities and extricate herself, but Jack lures her into a shadowy vortex of greed and revenge. Can she break away before it’s too late? Night Flight is a novel inspired by a real crime almost forgotten today—one of the most horrendous mass murders of the twentieth century.

Night Flight tells the story of Hannah, a fictional high school girl who has a brief affair with the real-life John Gilbert Graham. He was the culprit who, in 1955, placed a bomb in United Flight 629, the passenger plane that crashed near Longmont, killing all 44 persons aboard. 

"I have a particular interest in the crime, since I grew up in Lakewood and the bomber attended my church. I didn't know him, but as I wrote the book, I found that I had several eerie connections to the surrounding events. With the connection to Longmont, I think Night Flight will be of great interest to readers, especially considering the link to the anniversary of the crime."

"Engrossing, realistic, thought-provoking. Night Flight is a riveting, memorable read." -- Online Book club.

Her award-winning thriller, Bakersfield Boys Club, was inspired by a series of Central Valley murders that became known as the Lords of Bakersfield cases. Da Vigo covered the trial in the first of the crimes, the stabbing death of a local businessman. A 13-year-old boy prostitute probably attended the all-male party where the murder occurred, but was never called to testify. The youth, along with other vulnerable boys, was used for sex by prominent men in Bakersfield including, she later learned, her boss at the newspaper where she worked. The young victim of sexual abuse was later arrested and convicted for murdering one of his abusers. The cases remained on Da Vigo’s mind for years before she finally sat down at the computer to write her thriller.

She is the author of two other mysteries, Thread of Gold, a three-generational story set in New York state’s Finger Lakes, and her current release, Night Flight, inspired by the bombing of United Flight 629 out of the Denver airport in 1955.
