Advance reviews for Man from the Sky
"Danny Wynn understands how suddenly a life can turn from one thing to another. Man from the Sky is a thriller that is more than thrills, a psychological tale about a man on a journey out of his element, forced to confront his own mortality. It reminds me of my favorite Patricia Highsmith novels." Dean Wareham from  Luna and Galaxie 500

Man from the Sky

How far would you go to add excitement to a life you felt was boring and meaningless?

For seventy-three-year-old Jaime, the answer takes him by surprise. Accustomed to a lonely life high up in the mountains on the western coast of Mallorca, his dull routine is suddenly shattered when a man parachutes from a plane and lands nearby. The plane crashes; the man lives.

It’s a drug smuggling operation gone bad. But Stefan, the man from the sky, has escaped with eight kilos of cocaine in a gym bag. Jaime brings Stefan home and is soon entangled in Stefan’s attempts to sell the cocaine and start a new life. 

As they dodge Parisian drug dealers and corrupt Mallorcan police, Jaime’s search for excitement and Stefan’s resolve to find stability lead them both down dangerous paths.
