As an expert in accident reconstruction, it is Darwin Minor's job to use science and instinct to unravel the real causes of unnatural disasters. But a series of seemingly random high-speed fatal car wrecks—accidents which seem staged—is leading him down a dangerous road. Dar suspects a massive attempted rip-off, but why would anyone commit fraud at the cost of his own life?

The deeper he digs, the more enemies he seems to make. And if Dar wants to save himself, and untold others, he'll have to rely on some deadly resources of his own that date back to a dark, forgotten period in his past.
