Publisher's summary

A full-fledged pilot for several years, Sharon McCone is due for the biannual flight review required by the FAA. Her former flight instructor, Matty Wildress, invites her to fly up to the small Sonoma County town of Los Alegres for the evaluation. The test isn't due for several months, however, and McCone suspects Matty has more than safe flying on her mind.

She's right. Matty's live-in lover, John Seabrook, has been gone for a week, abandoning his small son, Zach. In a desperate letter, John entrusts the boy to her care, urging them to go into hiding immediately. But Matty is a professional and determined to perform in the last aerobatic air show of the year.

Despite the extra security, something goes horribly wrong - and Matty's plane crashes before a stunned crowd of spectators. McCone knows it's no accident and vows to find John for Zach's sake.

Suddenly, an ordinary missing person case becomes a personal vendetta. Together with her lover, Hy Ripinsky, McCone bypasses the authorities to hunt down the man responsible for Matty's death.

Her search will take her across the country as she uncovers the startling details of John Seabrook's past - killings, flight, and assumed identities. From San Francisco to Florida to Arkansas to northern Minnesota, she'll unravel an insidious web of corruption between a major corporation and high government, where power and profit are supreme...and murder is a tool of the trade. And somewhere in the midst of it all, she'll confront a killer with a heart as cold and dark as the northern night.

Her novels are getting better

I have read many Marcia Muller books but had missed out on several of the earlier ones. So I recently bought all the ones I missed. The first ones were quite a trudge to finish. But she matured gradually. This is #17 out of 34 and it's pretty good. I don't care for the narrator. This one is a good narrator for the female voices. But the men's voices sound just like the women's which gets confusing. Her narrator changes many times and I think this is the only one read by Jean Reed Bahle, but if not, I'll skip those. Don't these editors/authors realize what an inadequate narrator can do to an audiobook?

New Narrator doesn’t work

I loved the prior narrator(s) for the series but unfortunately I purchased this and another one without listening to the new one. I returned the other for a refund, audible won’t let me return this indicating I am abusing the return policy somehow. So I’ll give a review. I find Sharon McCone to be a delightful snarky character, and this narrator is too perky for the series. I just can’t listen to it, so while the story may be great, I can’t get past the narrator nor fitting with the story. I’d return if I could, but since I can’t, buyer beware.
