But the crash isn't an accident - it was brought down on purpose - and the Crashers weren't the target. The plane was brought down by mercenaries, led by an enigmatic, shadowy self-described patriot known only as Calendar, using weapons technology banned by international treaty. The targets - three men who planned to blow the whistle on the weapons technology and the power brokers behind its development. <p/>In a twisty, compelling thriller that goes from the streets of Spain, to the mountains of the western United States, to the heart of the dark, hidden corridors of power where there are dangerous secrets that few suspect and fewer know, the Crashers are literally dropped in the middle of a case that neither starts, nor ends, with a plane crash with some of their own on-board. A new team of Crashers fights time, as a fire rages ever closer to the wreckage, conflicting and confusing evidence, and unpredictable outside forces trying to prevent them from uncovering the truth. With alllies - unseen and even unknown - working behind the scenes to help them, the team is trapped in the midst of a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse with the deadliest of consquences, a game that not all of them will survive...</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><P>"An explosive mix of "24 "and "CSI.""<BR> "USA Today" on "Crashers"<P>In his acclaimed novel "Crashers," Dana Haynes introduced readers to the fearless NTSB experts who investigate airplane wrecks.
