About the Book In this fresh and utterly compelling thriller, a team of Crashers must find the source of a deliberate plane crash--before another one takes place. Book Synopsis Whenever a plane goes down in the U.S., a Go Team made up of experts is assembled by the NTSB to investigate. Those people - each of them a leading expert in a specific area - are known as informally as Crashers. When a passenger plane, a Vermeer One Eleven, slams into the ground outside Portland, Oregon, a team is quickly assembled to investigate the cause. Under the leadership of the IIC (Investigator in Charge), Leonard Tommy Tomzak, the team gets to work as fast as possible. But this time its different. This time, the plane was brought down deliberately, without leaving a trace, and this was only a trial run. In LA, Daria Gibron - a former Shin Bet agent, now under the protection of the FBI- spots a group of suspicious-looking men. Missing her former life of action, she attaches herself to them only to learn that, somehow, they were responsible for the plane crash and are preparing for another action. While her FBI handler tries to find her and save her, Daria risks her life to try to get close enough to learn whats going on and thwart the coming terrorist action. But time is running out and her cover story is running thin. Dana Haynes novel Crashers is a fresh and utterly compelling thriller, an original mix of action, investigation and a brilliant cast of characters that grabs the reader in the way few novels can and fewer do.
