The last thing that Air Force Special Agent Greg Marcotte expects to find in the debris field of an exploded unmanned rocket is a dead body with bullet holes in its chest. A phone number in the victim's wallet leads him to space reporter Justin Harris and a deeper mystery. Why did the dead man call Justin the morning of launch? Why won't anyone discuss the rocket's payload? And who else does the killer have in his sights? Justin and Greg must join forces to stop a murderer...who has Justin in his sights.
