Jammer Davis has spent most of his life investigating aircraft accidents. When a small regional jet disappears over the jungles of Colombia, it is a tragedy like dozens of others he has seen but for one terrible detail: his young daughter, who was en route to a semester abroad in South America, is listed on the passenger manifest.
A distraught Davis rushes to Bogota and bulls his way into the inquiry. When the wreckage is located, it becomes clear the crash was unsurvivable. As the investigation gains momentum, the facts go astray. Two pilots had been shot before the crash, along with one passenger. The possibility of a hijacking looms large as the search begins to focus on two passengers who boarded the plane, yet their remains cannot be found.
Davis uncovers an even more sinister plot behind the entire disaster one that goes to the highest levels of the United States government. But how could it possibly involve his daughter?
Advance Praise
"I love thriller authors who live what they write about. Ward Larsen is an airline captain who also flew combat missions and worked on aircraft accident investigations. In Fly by Wire, he brings his expert background to a gripping, entertaining, informative thriller that feels authentic on every page. Fans of Vince Flynn and Michael Crichton's Airframe will find a new favorite here." David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of The Shimmer
“Larsen is fast becoming a thriller writer to watch. He clearly knows his subject matter and has a knack for writing about technology without it getting in the way of the story or the characters. Fans of the aviation thrillers of John Nance and of Michael Crichton’s Airframe will find much to enjoy here.” Booklist
“Larsen takes readers into the world of technology with clarity, economy, and sure-handedness. He makes it fun to witness Davis putting the pieces together revealing information at just the right pace to keep the suspense building.” Florida Weekly
“Fly By Wire combines the complexities of aircraft technology, international conspiracies, terrorism, oil shortages, falling financial markets, and a father’s love for his teenage daughter with an ease that is breathtaking.” Mystery Scene Magazine

This is the first book by Ward Larsen I've read and it was a thriller based on the Colombian drug wars. Jammer Davis works for the NTSB as a crash investigator. When they call him about a crash in Colombia he discovers his daughter was on that plane. With interference coming from high in the US government he works with some DEA agents to rescue his daughter and her friend. Realistic politics and a story you could read in the news.
