One small handwritten letter, Sent from a dark, remote corner of the planet, And lost in the system for sixty years, Is about to change the entire human race. Outside Denver, Colorado, Joe Rickards stands over a small aircraft wreckage, studying burnt remains still smoldering in a field of freshly fallen snow...an investigator for the NTSB, working to carefully roll back the last several hours and identify the cause of the accident. But this time, he can't. The details behind this tragedy don't add up. Unlike every other investigation of Joe's career, the facts make no sense. Each new piece of information only makes the accident more mysterious, and more baffling. Why would a person receive an age-old letter and suddenly disappear into the thick of night...paying to be flown out of a closed airport in the worst possible weather conditions, by a pilot who hadn't had his hand on the stick in years? With the only surviving relative insisting her grandfather would never have climbed into a small airplane in the first place, even in perfect weather. A bizarre string of events culminating in a horrible accident unlike anything Rickards has experienced. Leaving his only hope at understanding it in the hands of the victim's sole remaining relative. Beginning with how a mysterious letter could turn up after being lost in the system for sixty years. Sent by someone who should have already been long dead. A single letter, Joe Rickards is about to discover, with a secret that will change the entire world.… (plus d'informations)
The Last Monument (Monument #1) by Michael C. Grumley I picked this audio version up on sale from chirp and it was wonderful! Great thriller adventure with twists and turns and an ending I really enjoyed. Suspense, great characters, and exciting plot kept me listening and loving every bit. Can't wait to catch the next Monument book! ( )
This was a good story about a supposedly Monuments Mans (WWII) that ended up in Peru and then disappeared. Fifty years later a letter is sent to his brother and the big mystery is set up. It was a great read until the very last chapter ended as a sci/fi/fantasy--what a let down! 325 pages ( )
