Setting:  contemporary Boston

1st sentence/s:"The stairs were creaky, and that was a problem."

My comments:  I didn't find Kristin a particularly believable character, but I have not read any of the previous stories where I might have gotten a little more feeling for her.  I can't picture her Houdini-like escape from a deserted train car, even after reading twice. The FBI sure is sloppy in this - in more ways than one.  Those are my thoughts after reading this short story.  It sets up the premise for the next eleven, and you sure wonder what's going on in that plane .... and it was an OKAY read, which doesn't mean it's horrible....

Goodreads book summary:  In FLIGHT 12, A KRISTIN CUNNINGHAM THRILLER, FBI Special Agent Kristin Cunningham is still recovering from injuries suffered preventing the assassination of U.S. President Robert Cartwright. Assigned to a desk, Kristin is thrilled to learn she's been recruited for an undercover sting designed to break up a brutal Russian Mafia human sex trafficking ring. 
          Kristin's job is simple: play a frightened teen kidnap victim in an attempt to identify and apprehend the high-level members of the human trafficking ring. 
          Almost immediately, the FBI sting begins to unravel, and Kristin Cunningham finds herself unarmed and bound, taken prisoner by a desperate, highly volatile man. Now Kristin must focus on staying alive, matching wits with a cunning criminal with nothing to lose.
