There was one written many years ago in New Zealand about a collision between a light aircraft and a DC8 over Titahi Bay, Wellington. I thought its title was something like "Airscream" but I can't find that anywhere on the net. It was quite a good read and its central plot revolved around wrong QNH settings and the tragic results.
and last part " The Return of the Supervisor"

Just my personal opinion, I thought "Airscream" was fairly horrible, although the premise was based on an event that actually took place. (ATIS tape put back upside-down after machine serviced. Played last months' ATIS.)
