Description
En route to a conference, three NTSB experts - known to insiders as "Crashers" - Tommy Tomzak, a pathologist from Texas; Kiki Duvall, a sound engineer and former naval officer; and Isaiah Grey, investigator and former FBI agent - are aboard a twin turbo prop plane when, just outside of Helena, Montana, the plane crashes into a thickly forested mountainside. But the crash isn't an accident - it was brought down on purpose - and the "Crashers" weren't the target. Mercenaries, led by an enigmatic, shadowy self-described patriot known only as Calendar, brought down the plane using weapons technology banned by international treaty. The targets - three men who planned to blow the whistle on the weapons technology and the power brokers behind its development. In a twisty, compelling thriller that goes from the streets of Spain, to the mountains of the western United States, to the heart of the dark, hidden corridors of power where there are dangerous secrets that few suspect and fewer know, the "Crashers" are literally dropped in the middle of a case that neither starts, nor ends, with a plane crash with some of their own on-board.
A new team of Crashers fights time, as a fire rages ever closer to the wreckage, conflicting, and confusing evidence, and unpredictable outside forces trying to prevent them from uncovering the truth.
