From the author of The Guest Room, a powerful story about the ways an entire life can change in one night: A flight attendant wakes up in the wrong hotel, in the wrong bed, with a dead man - and no idea what happened.

Cassandra Bowden is no stranger to hungover mornings. She's a binge drinker, her job with the airline making it easy to find adventure, and the occasional blackouts seem to be inevitable. She lives with them, and the accompanying self-loathing. When she awakes in a Dubai hotel room, she tries to piece the previous night back together, counting the minutes until she has to catch her crew shuttle to the airport. She quietly slides out of bed, careful not to aggravate her already pounding head, and looks at the man she spent the night with. She sees his dark hair. His utter stillness. And blood, a slick, still wet pool on the crisp white sheets. Afraid to call the police - she's a single woman alone in a hotel room far from home - Cassie begins to lie. She lies as she joins the other flight attendants and pilots in the van. She lies on the way to Paris as she works the first class cabin. She lies to the FBI agents in New York who meet her at the gate. Soon it's too late to come clean-or face the truth about what really happened back in Dubai. Could she have killed him? If not, who did?

Set amid the captivating world of those whose lives unfold at forty thousand feet, The Flight Attendant unveils a spellbinding story of memory, of the giddy pleasures of alcohol and the devastating consequences of addiction, and of murder far from home.

Cassandra Bowden was a snappy dresser. There was nothing of the vagabond about her, but she had the vagabond's facility for making herself at home wherever she went. She was never at a loss, never embarrassed, never affronted. She did as she liked, flirted when she liked.
On a flight to Dubai, the passenger in 2C, Russian American Alexander Sokolov, became one of Cassie's adorers. After the flight landed, they went to his hotel to have a good time.
In the morning, she was shocked to find the murdered body of Alex beside her. To hurt Alex seemed to her the acme of cruelty.
Quivering with shame, she returned from her escapade to the US. The FBI agents started quizzing her. Her heart was hammering wildly. She was greatly distressed thinking whether they would detect her or not.

With her drinking habit, trouble would come.
