Jammer Davis has spent most of his life investigating aircraft accidents. When a small regional jet disappears over the jungles of Colombia, it is a tragedy like dozens of others he has seen…but for one terrible detail—his young daughter, who was enroute to a semester abroad in South America, is listed on the passenger manifest.
A distraught Davis rushes to Bogotá and bulls his way into the inquiry. When the wreckage is located, it becomes clear the crash was unsurvivable. As the investigation gains momentum, the facts go astray. Two pilots had been shot before the crash, along with one passenger. The possibility of a hijacking looms large as the search begins to focus on two passengers who boarded the plane, yet their remains cannot be found.
Davis uncovers an even more sinister plot behind the entire disaster—one that goes to the highest levels of the United States government. But how could it possibly involve his daughter?

My Review
Ever read one of those books that grabs you from the first sentence? Well this one definitely did it for me. This is the third in the Jammer Davis stories and can be read as a stand alone. The premise? A plane crash in the middle of Columbia, Jammer's daughter was on that plane, as Jammer is an airline crash investigator, he is on the scene looking for his daughter and also what happened to the plane and why it crashed. His daughter is not among the victims and either is another girl that was a passenger.
Enter the corrupt government and political pawns and you have the makings of a great novel. I do love a good suspense story and this book is definitely that. Jammer will stop at nothing, and I mean nothing to find out what happened to his daughter and where she is. Multiple attempts on his life make him wonder just what has he gotten himself into.
Not only is this a page turner, you can definitely tell that the author knows his stuff, as a trained aircraft accident investigator himself, he incorporates what he knows into the story and it definitely works. I really enjoyed this fly by the seat of your pants novel and if you love a good thriller, you will like this one too!! I give it five stars, I loved it that much! Going to have hubby read this one also.
I received this book for review for my honest thoughts.
