Seat 7A, by Sebastian Fitzek

The German writer Sebastian Fitzek is one of the most profound storytellers of the thriller. His narratives address a frenzied suspense that never decays into a series of novels that attract more and more readers. His previous novel is worth as a reference The shipment, one of the best recent psychological horror novels.

When we meet the psychiatrist Matt Krüger, a guy as loaded with as many phobias as his patients may have, we already intuited a disturbing intention about all those practically universal fears, tamed by each in the best possible way. Flying has its certainly unsettling nuances, your life moves through the sky, without any control over what may happen and locked in a cabin that is sometimes overcrowded ...

But Matt you have compelling reasons to travel from Buenos Aires to Berlin. Her daughter Nele is going to be a mother and after so many years apart she needs that father figure who in her case was always a diffuse shadow. So Matt decides to return to his homeland in search of his daughter, willing to undo whatever knots that ended up separating them.

"The plane is the safest means of transport," Dr. Krüger repeats himself to a feigned conviction. Only, when everything seems to be ordering in a necessary calm, a call upsets everything. His interlocutor informs him of the particular ambush. One of his most violent patients is on the plane. Only he knows and only his reaction can prevent the tragedy.

But precisely that, the absolute tragedy, is part of the malevolent plan drawn up to make Dr. Krüger succumb to him. The 600 travelers are in his hands and that is when the psychiatrist's natural fear of flights shoots up into a frenzied and maddening adventure.

The small space of the plane becomes a sum of planes towards the catastrophe. Chapters that offer us the perspective of the macabre plan. The lives of Nele and his future grandson are in danger, but on the other side of the balance of the insane game all the occupants of the plane are arranged.

The only silver lining for Krüges is to trust his science, travel to his inner hell to face evil, that ominous plan that places him in the midst of a whirlwind of emotions miles from the ground.
