On a beach at dusk, while Bud Mitchell and Jill Winslow conduct their illicit love affair in front of a video camera set to record each steamy moment, a terrible explosion suddenly lights up the sky. Grabbing the camera, the couple make their getaway, as approaching police cars speed toward the scene.
Five years later, the fate of TWA Flight 800 has been attributed to a mechanical malfunction. But for John Corey and his wife Kate Mayfield, both members of the elite Anti-Terrorist Task Force, the case is not closed. Suspicious of a cover-up, they set out to find the one piece of evidence that will prove their theory—that at least two other people are determined to keep hidden: a videotape of the unbelievable truth.

Very promising beginning–a plot revolving around a real terrorist event and its aftermath–becomes a complicated cover up with an obscure explanation and is then completely let down by a cop-out ending that never explains what the whole book has been about. DeMille thanks his son in the afterword for suggesting a way out of the corner he'd written himself into, but I found the ending completely disappointing.
