What this book is about

The third John Corey novel revisits the 1996 crash of TWA Flight 800 off Long Island — which Corey suspects was a missile strike covered up by the government. Set partly before 9/11 and partly after, the novel uses real historical events as the spine of a political conspiracy thriller. DeMille's research and Corey's wisecracking narration make the pages move. Adult thriller content including some sexual references and violence throughout.
