September 1946 – Destined for a stateside scrapyard, Sadie Sue, a B-24 heavy bomber lifts off from Tokyo on a flight plan to Geiger Field in Washington state. Having miraculously survived fifty-six missions together, navigator, pilot, and copilot Malloy, are the only crew. An unscheduled detour ends in unseen disaster.

Two generations later, US Air Force pilot, Major Lincoln James Malloy is transferred from Afghanistan, forced to leave behind his wingman, the A-10 Warthog he loved, and the marines and soldiers who had counted on his close air support. Major Malloy resigns his commission and returns home, picking up the mantle of his family business—Issaquah Sky Ranch Airport, twenty miles east of Seattle.

Threatened with an end to his family legacy, Linc races to uncover the truth behind his grandfather’s lost bomber. With an unknown traitor on his heels, the blank pages of an old notebook could be his salvation.

If he lives long enough.

“There’s what’s legal and there’s what’s right. Most of the time they agree. When they don’t, a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do.”

This is one of those times.

It takes breaking the rules, pushing the limits, and a spatula to discover the awful truth.
