I am straight up freaking out. There is still snow up in Tahoe and Tough Mudder is only a few months away. If we don’t have a heat wave soon, I am going to be hiking in snow and swimming in ice water. NO!! NO WAY! I can actually feel my eyeballs freezing up as I type. I can’t even handle a cool breeze. I might need to rent a wet-suit or something. Usually I don’t start questioning why I do this every year until I am actually at the starting line looking at the massive hill I am about to climb. Did I mention I hate hills? I also hate snow, so you can imagine how much I would hate snowy hills. It’s quite possible I could lose a few fingers or toes this year. That’s messed up.

On July 4, 1946, the traitor, Navy Captain Edward Lawson stole and attempted to fly an experimental seaplane into the hands of the Soviet Union. The top-secret plane crashed in the Atlantic Ocean before he could succeed. His body, and the wreck of the plane, were lost at sea.
Mike Howard runs a small aviation museum, and, several decades later, his war-hero family still feels the sting of Lawson’s unpatriotic actions. When Mike is pressured by Lawson’s grandson, Jesse, to mount a search for the traitor’s corpse, his first instinct is to vehemently refuse. However, his scholarly instincts quickly get drawn into the hunt, and he soon realizes that there is much more to the story. As Mike’s corporate sponsors passionately lobby for him to stop stirring up old issues, it is made clear to him just how tangled the web of espionage has become.
A team of killers is on his trail. Mike and his friend, a champion female stunt flier, are forced on the run. They desperately unravel the threads of deceit, scrambling for the truth before they are brutally added to the list of sacrificed persons of conscience.
