Kicking Tin — Paul Charles

Kicking Tin is the story of an English boy who becomes a lead investigator with the NTSB in Washington, DC. Mike Gilham is a tin kicker, an air crash investigator. This is his story.

When two planes crash on the same day, Mike Gilham is overloaded with pressures from the media. The first crash is a small plane carrying a single family. The manufacturer has been in the headlines repeatedly after many similar crashes.

Later that morning, a major international airliner crashes into the Potomac river. Mike is rapidly pulled into a vast web of intrigue. At the centre of it all, a new missile defence shield system. Could the government really have shot the plane down?

Based on high-profile disasters such as TWA800, PanAm 103 over Lockerbie, MH370 and MH17, as well as US Airways Flight 1549 which featured in the recent hit movie Sully.
