What you need to know before your trail
Jammer Davis has spent most of his life investigating aircraft accidents. When a small regional jet disappears over the jungles of Colombia, it is a tragedy like dozens of others he has seen but for one terrible detail his young daughter, who was en route to a semester abroad in South America, is listed on the passenger manifest.
A distraught Davis rushes to Bogota and bulls his way into the inquiry. When the wreckage is located, it becomes clear the crash was unsurvivable. As the investigation gains momentum, the facts go astray. Two pilots had been shot before the crash, along with one passenger. The possibility of a hijacking looms large as the search begins to focus on two passengers who boarded the plane, yet their remains cannot be found.
Davis uncovers an even more sinister plot behind the entire disaster one that goes to the highest levels of the United States government. But how could it possibly involve his daughter?
Travel Guide
Colombia
Airline accidents are never easy to read about but one above the Colombian jungle perhaps more dangerous than most. The ground below is one of jungles and the hunting ground of not just animals but potentially drug barons and all kinds of criminals.
The jungle is a dark and foreboding place. Dangerous, damp and unknown. There’s also the cultural differences, the language one and the fact that the authorities are not as helpful as they could be.
The airline investigation is interesting – what does go on when a plane goes missing some 30, 000 feet up in the air?
