Pegasus Down

Author Event at Griffin Bay Books

Philip Donlay is on a roll. He has just released another Donovan Nash thriller, Pegasus Down, and has picked up many more fans along the way. If you’ve followed Donlay’s Donovan Nash series, be sure to stop in Griffin Bay Bookstore on Saturday afternoon, March 5, from 2:00—4:00 pm to meet the former pilot and pick up a signed copy of his latest: Pegasus Down.

Here’s the gist: Pegasus Down is described as a “full-throttle aerial game of chess.”

A CIA-operated jet on a clandestine mission disappears in Eastern Europe. There’s been no mayday, no wreckage, and no known survivors—and no way to know if the top-secret extraction of a key American scientist from Slovakia, and his liberator, Dr. Lauren McKenna, code name Pegasus, are dead or alive.

Donovan Nash finds himself involved. His precarious world is rocked when word reaches him that his wife, Lauren, is missing in Eastern Europe. Using his millions, and fueled by fear of losing his wife, Donovan and company cut a swath through Austria and Hungary. Desperate, Donovan leverages his lifelong secret to enlist an unlikely ally—one of his oldest friends—who may very well want him dead. As Donovan closes in on the truth, another, more deadly reality is revealed. A ruthless terrorist group has acquired a stealth aircraft with the ability to deliver a nuclear device. They are poised to strike—but where? What started as a rescue turns into a full-throttle aerial chase. Will Donovan Nash be able to rescue his wife, as well as prevent a nuclear catastrophe?

“Authors like Philip Donlay, who write pure thrillers, have capabilities and strength I can only envy. Great pacing and twists. Bravo!” – William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling author and Edgar Award-winning author of Ordinary Grace.
