Crash

“Belinda Bauer is a genius—she can turn any idea into a solid gold, suspenseful, immersive and intriguing story.”—Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series

In this heart-stopping thriller from CWA Gold Dagger Award winner Belinda Bauer, an inexplicable string of plane crashes plunges a disgraced air-crash investigator into an international conspiracy

When the engine of a Boeing 737 tears itself apart at Los Angeles Airport, National Transportation Safety Board investigator Tom Patrick is in the wrong place at the wrong time—playing poker at a nearby casino.

He’s been losing at cards and probing pipeline leaks ever since his big mouth led to his fall from grace as the NTSB’s top investigator. Now he can’t wait to come in from the cold.

Sidelined by the official investigation, Tom starts to dig anyway. And when another 737 crashes for what looks like similar reasons, it’s clear that something could be terribly wrong with the world’s most popular passenger jet.

But when shocking clues plunge him into a conspiracy that threatens millions, Tom must risk everything to stop planes—and passengers—falling out of the sky like bloody confetti.
