Hercules Down

There was no question that the C-5 Hercules went down in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Satellite surveillance located the wreckage, the bodies and the pings of the billion dollar satellite equipment that it was transporting.
Captain Hank Heller was in charge of the secure hangar where the Hercules had been loaded with the military satellite equipment. The Air Force accepted the undisputable evidence of the crash but Captain Heller did not. He discovered subtle clues that pointed to a well thought out plot to steal the billion dollar payload.
Heller and a mysterious woman, Aya Shaheen, despite mutual animosity toward each other, reluctantly team up to probe circumstantial evidence suggesting that there was no crash. They soon discover how China, North Korea, and an international broker of stolen military satellites fit into complicated web of murder and treachery.
