Trois passagers sont morts. Cinquante-six sont blessés. La cabine intérieure est détruite. Et pourtant le vol 545 a atterri à Los Angeles sans aucun dommage apparent. Casey Singleton, une jeune et brillante cadre de Norton Aircraft, la société qui a construit cet avion, est confrontée à un véritable mystère : cet accident n'est tout simplement pas possible. Le pilote était l'un des meilleurs au monde, la météo était parfaite, tous les systèmes de l'avion semblent intacts, et les fameuses " boîtes noires " sont muettes. Casey n'a que six jours pour découvrir ce qui a provoqué l'accident ... et quelqu'un paraît bien décidé à l'en empêcher : qui? Qui renseigne les journalistes? Pourquoi Casey est-elle sous surveillance, menacée de mort? Qu'est-ce qui est arrivé à cet avion? [payot.ch]
