Alan Livingston thought he had everything figured out. Graduate from college, got into law and eventually into politics. Until financial reality set in and he had to drop out after only two years. His goals were out of reach and options were few and far between. He hopped from job to job for a while, and tried everything from tree cutting to being a bouncer. Nothing stuck. Finally, he lands something both interesting and challenging. Alan has skills which help him as a private investigator. Respect for people, an unassuming manner, resourcefulness and a knack for finding the truth. Things might work out after all. Then he got a call in the middle of the night. At the airport in Lexington, Kentucky, Alan grabs his suitcase and rushes to get a car to investigate - a plane crash? What he finds will stay with him a long time.
