Now with Missing Man, Michael Cassutt has crafted a high-tension thriller combining the corporate intrigue of John Grisham's The Firm with the heart-stopping excitement of Apollo 13.

When a veteran astronaut dies mysteriously during a routine training flight, Mark Koskinen, the rookie astronaut who survives the crash, finds himself caught up in a web of suspicion, intrigue and deception. Although the mounting evidence points to murder, powerful forces inside NASA are determined to keep the truth from getting out. Risking his career -- and perhaps his life -- Mark sets out to find the truth, with the help of a beautiful woman astronaut who had once been the dead man's lover.

With the appealing characters, suspenseful plotting, and a vividly detailed portrait of the inner workings of the space program, Michael Cassut joins the ranks of Tom Clancy, Clive Cussler and Richard Preston as an important name in the field of suspense.
