I started this novel on an airline flight...which either shows my confidence in the industry or the fact that I love stories about planes and such. This book has been on my "books to read table" for some time and for reasons I am unable to fathom it took me a few years to get to it. The story starts with a horrendous airline disaster which occurs on take off as the #3 engine of the plane in question destroys itself and everyone on the flight. From that simple premise the author takes us through the investigation of such a tragedy, but it is the investigation and the manner in which it is being conducted which is quickly the focus of the piece. The NTSB investigation is flawed..not by incompetance but by corruption. The uncovering of the corruption by an investigative reporter is the peeling of the onion which exposes shortcomings in all of the professions it explores. The book which I read is the paper back version and it is a bit longer than necessary, but it is nevertheless an entertaining and informative read which is about all we ever look for in a novel these days. The book is apparently out of print at the moment, but the effort by the author deserves a review ....
