With over one hundred C-500s in service around the world, interest is keen to get to the bottom of the mystery. When French officials take over this highly public investigation, they call in the best there is: they call Frank "Jammer" Davis. <p/> A retired U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, Davis is part of the NTSB's "go team." With a reputation for getting things done--and for steamrolling anyone who gets in his way--Davis starts to dig. <p/> But just as Davis starts his investigation, news of the crash is overshadowed by a more spectacular disaster: suicide bombers attack oil refineries across the world, sending governments and financial markets into a tailspin. <p/> A relentless Davis keeps working, but when he finally uncovers the cause of the crash, and its terrifying connection to the terrorist attacks, it is a conspiracy of unthinkable proportions. <p/> A conspiracy he might not be able to stop. <p/><b>Perfect for fans of Nelson DeMille, Tom Clancy, and Michael Creighton</b> <p/> While all of the novels in the Jammer Davis Series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is: <p/><i>Fly by Wire <br> Fly by Night <br> Passenger 19</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for the Jammer Davis Series</b> <p/> "Larsen, a former Air Force fighter pilot who's flown many combat missions, is a skilled writer who knows his technology, but does not let it overwhelm his story.
