NANCE, JOHN J. — Headwind

Thorndike, Maine, Thorndike Press. 2001, First Thius. (ISBN: 0786230665) Laminated Hardcover. Book, Athens, Greece. As a Boeing 737 noses into its gate, the crew is confronted by Greek officials waiting to arrest one of its passengers - former president of the United States, John Harris. Fearing for Harris's safety, Captain Craig Dayton stages a daring escape by backing the jet away from the gate without clearance and taking off down a vacant runway. The dilemma is this: Peru has signed an Interpol Warrant for President Harris's arrest, and every nation in the Pan-American federation must honor it. As Captain Dayton flies Harris and his crew on an against-the-clock mission to find a safe haven, Harris's outgunned lawyer wrestles an international team of legal sharks snapping at their biggest prize yet.
