M.L. Buchman

The nation’s #1 air-crash investigator—trapped between a simulated disaster and an interagency political war.

 The best ground-attack support fighter jets ever built—the A-10 Thunderbolt “Warthogs”—are falling out of the sky. The Air Force brass repeatedly schemes to decommission this low-tech jet. They’ve been blocked by soldiers, pilots, and Congress…so far. The “Hog” lies at the crux of a high-tech struggle for power. The interagency political skirmish rapidly escalates into a battle fought on a global scale.

 Miranda Chase, the NTSB’s autistic air-crash genius, and her team spring into action. The high-risk stakes mount in the battlespace—and a secret from their past could make them the next target. Miranda and her team of sleuths may become the spark that ignites a war.
