At last life is moving in the direction you want. What if your enemies cut your steering?

Searching for stability in his hitherto turbulent life (Scott's Choice), Cuff Scott emerges from anonymity to become a flying instructor.

Imogen, his own student, suspects him of stalking her. Cuff witnesses someone else flying illegal immigrants into the country at night. In their efforts to identify the smuggler, his friend, Martin, is captured and may be murdered.

There is a stalker to identify and a pilot to catch. Will Cuff ever be able to experience a normal life when risks seem to seek him out and invite him to join their game? Perhaps he's heading in the wrong direction. Maybe he should change course.
