Cast out of academia due to an amorous indiscretion, Fritz Tullis retreats to his family's estate in southern Maryland. While photo-graphing a rare whooping crane who's flown off course, he notices a plane land on his neighbor's airstrip. Three men get off the plane, and Fritz sees one man shoot another. The victim is loaded onto the plane, erasing all evidence of a murder. Shocked by his sightings, Fritz searches for answers and finds that the owner of the airstrip is a highly placed official at the State Department with a long history of connections to the CIA, and that the missing dead man was a foreign diplomat. Now, Fritz is more determined than ever to uncover what may be a deadly government conspiracy. Teaming up with a Washington attorney, a local police detective, his own mother, and a sexy ornithologist, Fritz launches into a harrowing investigation of one murder that leads to many more-perhaps his own.
