The Savannah Project (Jake Pendleton #1)

"An intense, heart-pounding St. Patrick's Day thriller!"The truth can be a dangerous thing.Terrorism, duty, and personal safety collide when Jake Pendleton, an investigator for the NTSB, is called to investigate an aircraft accident in Savannah, Georgia during the St. Patrick’s Day celebration.

Since Jake is not willing to pretend there are no suspicious circumstances and more than the usual share of rather unlikely “coincidences,” he sets off a veritable avalanche of secrets, violence and treachery. Aided by an unlikely partner, Gregg Kaplan, the air traffic controller who was the last person in contact with the airplane that crashed, Jake sets out to untangle the webs of deceit and to find a vicious killer.Nothing is as it seems, nobody is who you thought them to be.Nothing is sacred.Nobody is safe.ABOUT THE AUTHOR Chuck Barrett, a Florida native, grew up in Panama City.
