Crosswind 5: Snowfall: Snowfall J W Holden

Publisher Marketing: This is the second book in the series Crosswind 5. In this volume the team is contracted to find a father and son duo that have disappeared and are presumed dead after they fail to return from an evening excursion in their private plane. The weather is atrocious, and to make things worse, they are feared to be down in the snow-capped mountain ranges of the Colorado Rockies! With so many passes and so many snow banks, the potential for the hiding aircraft wreckage to be found is small at best. All civil authorities have exhausted their means and abandoned the search. If the two are still alive, they only have one chance left. Neil Saddler and his Crosswind 5 team. A week has already passed since the pair went missing. There has been no evidence of survival. No radio transmission, no crash beacon contacts. But the pilot and passenger have unlimited status when it comes to corporate rescue policies and service retainers purchased yearly from Secure Travels Indemnity Corp. The father, Roy Clive, is known as a cagey personality. A wealthy Texan with ties to some of the world's largest oil holdings, he is tough and resourceful. His son Ben has been raised to emulate that same kind of character. His wife and remaining children refuse to give up on them. To them, mobilizing the team is the next logical step. Neil has heard of Roy and knows some of his business associates personally. Those associates told Neil that Roy is a fighter. It is time for the team to launch! Contributor Bio:  Bontrager, Jana J.
