A very good book Flight 545 from Hong Kong encounters a mid-air incident where the plane dives and climbs in rapid sucession causing three deaths and 56 injuries.  Casey Singleton is part of the Incident Review Team who works for Norton Aircraft and is investigating what caused the accident to happen but tensions with the work force over a sale to China and as part of the sale they are planning on giving the wing construction to China.  

The workers who build the wings aren't happy and they cause accidents to delay tool shipments to China and the executives lives are threatened.  Casey has to find out what caused the plane accident but can she find out in time to save the company and her career and potentially her life.
