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 le 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 ?

Une semaine d'enquête haletante dans les coulisses de la sécurité aérienne, où Michael Crichton sons guide pas à pas à travers la conception des avions, les tests de fatigue, les systèmes électroniques utrasophistiqués, jusqu'au dénouement .... Flamboyant.
