Praise for Flight Risks

“Flight Risks is a fast-paced, snappy thriller that hurtles through the worlds of law, finance, politics and family. ... How Schofield winds everything together is marvellous. He keeps readers enthralled in the chase by developing Grace as an enormously resourceful and courageous figure, whose primary goal is to get her daughter back.”

– Victoria Times-Colonist

“I spend most of my time reading screenplays, and I very seldom take the time to read novels. But this novel is an exception. The way Mr Schofield writes is refreshing. His choice of words... the way he uses words... just astonishes me. I kept re-reading sentences just to enjoy them. And what a fabulous story! When I had to put the book down, I couldn't wait to get back to it. It kept me awake at night. I don't like using the word "fantastic" - it's so overused - but this really is a fantastic novel!”

- Graham Greene, film and TV actor

Oscar Nominee, Best Supporting Actor, Dances With Wolves

“Sadly, but completely satisfied, I finished reading Flight Risks. I arrived on the set of Diary of a Wimpy Kid two hours before my call time. I wanted to be alone without any interruptions and just sit down with all the characters in the novel. What a wonderful and exciting story! I just could not wait to pick up the book to continue on from where I left off. What a ride!”

- Alf Humphreys, film and TV actor

“My heart was racing from start to finish with no let up in sight. If I have one criticism of the author is that he is relentless in keeping me on the edge of my seat and unable to sleep.”

- Christopher Dalton, film producer & author

“There are some pretty tough situations here, but everything is believable and real, especially the dialogue, at which, I feel, this author excels.”

- Tricia Heighway, author

“Schofield's easy and simple style of writing brings such vividness to his characters, scenes, the action, and the suspense and does not get in the way of his story's breakneck speed. And best of all, he skilfully ties up the entire story in the final chapter with an ending that took this reader completely by surprise.”

- Tom Kovacs, film actor and musician

“Flight Risks is an accomplished novel with a little bit of everything you fancy – mystery, murder, mayhem, sprinkled judiciously with a smattering of sex. Well-researched facts flavour the story instead of overpowering it, and the twist at the end will take any reader by surprise. The perfect book to take your mind off the dreary summer, it will captivate your imagination and never let go.”

- Elise Hattersley, literary editor
