Recenzii

"Outstanding! Crashers combines the ferocious action you usually see on a movie screen with a fascinating look at the way a major airline crash is investigated.""--"Phillip Margolin, "New York"" Times"bestselling author of "Supreme Justice"
"You absolutely must read "Crashers." I literally couldn't put this book down. Dana Haynes is a gifted writer who grabs you on page one and doesn't let you go until the final page..."--Nelson DeMille, author of "The Lion"
"Strong characters, gruesome crash details, and the ticking countdown to another attack make this novel an explosive mix of "24 "and "CSI.""--"USA"" Today"
""
"Dana Haynes delivers big-time with "Crashers," a spectacular, timely, un-put-downable, near-perfect thriller whose every page sizzles with action, intrigue, information, and intelligence. If you're a thriller fan, or even just a lover of fine writing and terrific story-telling, do yourself a big favor and buy this book."--John Lescroart, "New York"" Times"bestselling author of "Damage"""
"This""is a thriller that lands a rare and satisfying hat trick: The action sequences hit hard, the characters are idiosyncratic while still feeling like real people, and the 'snappy' dialogue actually snaps."--"Kirkus Reviews"
"The plane crash scenes are extremely graphic but absolutely essential to the reader's understanding of the aftermath of a plane downed by a terrorist strike...Filled with excitement and knowledge of NTSB procedures and problems. Highly recommended."--"Library Journal" (starred review)
"Haynes's compelling first thriller takes familiar elements--a mysterious airplane crash, a bent FBI agent, a deadly female spy--and mixes them with the world of National Transportation Safety Board aviation disaster investigations...The forensic details fascinate but aren't for the weak of stomach. Haynes nicely integrates several subplots involving terrorism. The slam-bang crash landing of a conclusion will leave readers anxiously awaitingh
