reading a book called A Death in Vienna, by Daniel Silva. It's basically an

western hemisphere. It might have been dark blue once; now the exterior had
faded to the color of pumice. The windshield had a crack down the center
that looked like a bolt of lightning. Gabriel's door was bashed in, and it
required much of his depleted reservoir of strength to pry it open. The air
conditioner no longer worked, and the engine roared like a prop plane."
