FBI agent Cameron Daggett has for years been on the trail
of an international triggerman responsible for planting at
least two nearly undetectable explosive devices on
airplanes. When a strange murder takes place in a Seattle
aircraft training installation, Daggett suspects that his
nemesis is involved.
The man who was murdered was a specialist in training
pilots to fly the Duhning 959-600 – a new breed of ultra-
sophisticated aircraft – and he was killed in a Duhning
flight simulator. Was the killer trying to be taught to
pilot one of these super jets? How is this connected to
Daggett's recent discovery of sophisticated altitude
detonators? Is Anthony Kort – Daggett's prey – about to
strike again?
Using the most intricate and complex forensic techniques,
the aerodynamic and technical principles that make monster
jets stay aloft, and sheer cop's reasoning – Daggett picks
up Kort's trail. He is joined by forensic experts,
aerodynamic engineers, and criminal psychologists – but it
comes down to Daggett and Daggett alone to see the pattern
in the seemingly endless technical detail, and stop a
tragedy before it takes place. But Kort is smart, and
driven by a motivation that Daggett cannot possibly
understand. And when Daggett gets close, Kort makes it
personal.
