Haynes's compelling first thriller takes familiar elements—a mysterious airplane crash, a bent FBI agent, a deadly female spy—and mixes them with the world of National Transportation Safety Board aviation disaster investigations. When pathologist Leonard “Tommy” Tomzak, who's attending a Portland, Ore., medical conference, sees a TV report of a nearby jetliner crash, he rushes to the site via helicopter. There Tommy takes charge of the investigation, though he quit the NTSB a few months earlier in a huff. As other NTSB personnel (known as “crashers”) make their way to the crash scene from around the country, Tommy and his local crew secure the site. The forensic details fascinate but aren't for the weak of stomach. Haynes (Sacrifice Play
and two other mysteries as Conrad Haynes) nicely integrates several subplots involving terrorism. The slam-bang crash landing of a conclusion will leave readers anxiously awaiting the promised sequel. 100,000 first printing.
A plane crashes, and the investigation into it begins. Determining the cause requires immediate action from the experts of the National Transportation Safety Board. Tommy, a pathologist who is first on the scene, coordinates efforts efficiently. Soon others arrive, each with a specialized skill. Separately, Daria, a deep-cover agent working with the FBI, is on the trail of Irish terrorists in Los Angeles. The stories merge flawlessly as narrator David LeDoux weaves global accents for those involved. Daria, from the Mideast, has a curt voice with an emotionless tone as she deals with the volatile Irishmen. Tommy's boss, Susan, speaks in a clipped voice. The best, though, is Tommy, a drawling, tired Texan. The action is good, the detail is better, and the voices are great. M.B. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
