When sabotage threatens the US Air Force's newest gunship, there's only one woman to call. An AC-130J "Ghostrider"-the latest variant of America's most lethal aerial gunship-goes down hard in the Colorado Rockies. Except the flight data doesn't match the airframe. Air-crash genius, and high-functioning autistic, Miranda Chase leads her NTSB team of sleuths in to investigate. But what they uncover reveals a far greater threat-sabotage. If she can't solve the crash in time, a new type of war will erupt. One far too close to home which threatens to shatter her team.
