| Summary |
Marine One, the official presidential helicopter, crashes, killing everyone aboard, including the president. Mike Nolan, an attorney who's also a helicopter pilot, is hired by the manufacturer of Marine One to defend the company against a wrongful-death suit filed by the First Lady. Mike knows that he will have to find out what caused the crash, whether it really was a defective copter or if there is some other explanation. The problem is, the list of potential other explanations is very short, and all of them could put Mike's own life in jeopardy. The author smoothly combines the political-conspiracy and courtroom-drama formats, and he nicely explores the story's fundamental moral quandary: If Mike's client made a defective product, is he defending the people who killed the president? |
