Description
Amertec Electronics' company jet carrying the Senior VP and soon to be CEO mysteriously crashes shortly after taking off from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. It was a cold, rainy day with low visibility.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) says it was an accident. The victim's wife says it was murder. Frank Adams, retiree from the NTSB, now independent aviation accident investigator, has been hired to find out. Mounting evidence and an additional murder of a former Amertec employee convinces Adams that there was indeed foul play.
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
“. . . Author Meier employs enough technical terminology to keep the pillars of his plot credible without drowning the reader in a sea of aeronautical and avionics jargon. He skillfully melds intricacies of flight, internecine corporate skullduggery, and good old-fashioned pulse-pounding action into a satisfying stew of suspense. The pace is swift, the characters are crafty, and the read is rewarding for those who like stories seasoned with plausibility.
He even finds a way to make one car following another a bit of a Hitchcockian drama on the printed page.”
− US Review of Books
“. . . Fast-paced, absorbing narrative moves the action briskly along while keeping all the disparate pieces of the problem in the mix. Meier does a terrific job of maintaining a palpable current of tension throughout Frank’s investigation, and his final reveal about what happened to Charles is surprising, logical, and satisfying. Conspiracy and a good dose of intrigue build up to a shockingly dramatic ending that’s equal parts exhilarating and satisfactory. A clever, stylish mystery with page-turning twists.”
