Based on true events, but unlike anything you ve ever read before, #1 "New York Times" bestselling author Nelson DeMille has created what may be his finest work to date.
It is dusk on July l7, 1996. A man and a woman who are married but not to each other make love on a Long Island beach as a video camera records their pleasure and something more. Out over the ocean, TWA Flight 800 suddenly explodes with 230 victims on board, the terrible blast illuminating the sky. The government s verdict is mechanical failure, but the videotape may tell another story if it can be found.
Now, on the fifth anniversary of the crash, two members of the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force set out to reopen the case: John Corey, a former NYPD detective, and his wife, Kate Mayfield, a career FBI agent. Together, they hunt for the crucial video and race toward an elusive truth even more horrifying than the crash itself.
