Synopsis

On the night of the Fourth of July, Nick Reynolds, his pilots rating barely a month old, disappears off the radar over the Chesapeake Bay. Investigating agencies call it a piloterror accident, but no trace of the plane is ever found in the Bays murky waters. Ike Schwartz, former spook and erstwhile sheriff of Picketsville, has his vacation interrupted when an old CIA buddy asks him to look into the disappearance. What looks like a simple missing person case soon catapults Ike into an international thriller with intimations of terrorism that might threaten the nation and its leaders.
