In Hiroshima, a dying crime czar releases his power, his mistakes, and his money. . . . In Washington, a lawyers investigator uncovers the truth about the worst U.S. aviation disaster in history. . . . And 40,000 feet above Utah, an airline pilot feels a sudden shudder and knows the impossible is about to happen--again. Now three men from different worlds must infiltrate a vast conspiracy that is wreaking havoc in the skies. Shig Onishi is a Japanese accountant turned cop. Brian MacHenry is a dogged ex-marine investigating a string of horrible airline crashes. And Roger Case is a lawyer who specializes in aviation litigation. All three men are following a trail of money, power, and shocking criminality that stretches across the Pacific and into the halls of U.S. industry and politics. The questions Onishi, MacHenry, and Case are asking are more than enough to get them killed. But the answers are enough to rock the world. . .
