Private detective John Marshall Tanner takes on what seems like a routine insurance case involving a suspicious car accident. The crash looked straightforward enough, but Tanner discovers the incident masks something far more sinister. As he digs deeper into the circumstances surrounding the collision, he uncovers a web of corporate corruption and deliberate sabotage in the automotive industry. Someone has been engineering deadly accidents, and powerful interests want to keep their scheme buried. Tanner finds himself racing against time as the conspirators turn their attention to silencing him permanently. The investigation forces him through the dark underbelly of car manufacturing and insurance fraud, where profits matter more than human lives. Each lead brings new dangers as Tanner realizes the crash was just the beginning of a larger plot that threatens more innocent victims.
