IT’S NOT JUST HER LIFE THAT’S ON THE LINE...

THIS TIME IT’S HER DAUGHTER’S.

An instant felt like a lifetime. The view from the ground was agonizing. A fully loaded passenger plane, plummeting lifelessly toward the sea. From the cockpit of her nearby plane, Captain Kate Gallagher had another view and another concern: her six-year-old daughter had just stopped breathing in the cabin behind her.

The crash of an Atlas Airways jet is now a matter for the investigators—until bodies are secretly pulled from the sea. Evidence is hidden, then destroyed. A witness to the accident, Kate cannot guess that her daughter, recuperating in a Florida hospital, holds the key both to the crash and a sinister conspiracy reaching all the way to the oil-rich jungles of South America. For in one last, desperate moment, a doomed man sent Molly Gallagher his final gift: an instantaneous vision of a horrific crime. Now people are dying for what a child knows. And Kate Gallagher—and the only man she can trust—are on a frantic cross-country run for one shot at the truth...and one chance of survival.
