This has to be my favorite book by my favorite author.

The way the story builds up and goes back and forth with each twist until the end, as you try and solve the major question of the novel.

It's an extraordinary read. With not only providing us, the readers, a look into an industry; but also a look at reality when something like this happens.

A very good book Flight 545 from Hong Kong encounters a mid-air incident where the plane dives and climbs in rapid sucession causing three deaths and 56 injuries.  Casey Singleton is part of the Incident Review Team who works for Norton Aircraft and is investigating what caused the accident to happen but tensions with the work force over a sale to China and as part of the sale they are planning on giving the wing construction to China.  

The workers who build the wings aren't happy and they cause accidents to delay tool shipments to China and the executives lives are threatened.  Casey has to find out what caused the plane accident but can she find out in time to save the company and her career and potentially her life.

Amazing plot. Follows like a good detective novel.

A plane goes up and down really fast and then three people die. Now Casey Singleton has to figure it out without getting her ass fired, losing the China sale, and stopping the news from bad-mouthing the N-22 wide body. Everyone gets what’s coming to them in a exciting story about an airplane.

I don’t care about airplanes, but it was quite enjoyable.
