| Four engineering students at a small college in Illinois enter a
design contest sponsored by a large aircraft manufacturer. All they want
is a job offer after graduation. However, they soon discover
a revolutionary new process that will fundamentally
change the way structural components are manufactured. The students, the
college, and the aircraft
manufacturer all immediately claim ownership of the patent and a legal
fight ensues. Defying the
others, one of the students decides to quit the battle and sell out. Now that student is
dead.
Steve Brinkley, the team's leader, made national news a few years
earlier when he was dismissed in disgrace from M.I.T. following several
Federal felony charges. Now he has disappeared. Homicide
investigators and the swarming media want answers.
Steve wants the truth.
Tom Sylvester's third novel promises to catch you from page one and
lead you through a maze of treachery and deceit. You won't know whom to
trust in this new page-turner from the author of The Descent and
The Hohmann Transfer.
