Air-crash genius Miranda Chase, a high-functioning autistic investigator, races to an impossible scene: a small jet crashed on a rapidly calving Alaskan glacier. She must solve the crash before the jet disappears into the ocean.

Facing a ticking clock, Miranda relies on her brilliant, unconventional mind, her dedicated team, and an unexpected “gadget” to survive salvaging the critical evidence.

As she navigates the perilous ice and a race against time, Miranda and her therapy dog discover that sometimes the most ordinary tools can hold extraordinary power.

Read an Excerpt

“It’s not a toy, Meg.”
Her Glen of Imaal Terrier tipped her head sideways and stared at the small clicker in Miranda’s hand.
“What are you doing?” Andi came into the team house’s living room and dropped down onto the couch beside her.
“I’m trying to teach Meg to respond to a clicker, but she keeps trying to take it from my hand each time I click it.”
Andi folded her legs to sit cross-legged and leaned forward to look down at the dog.
Meg wagged her tail expectantly. The problem was that Miranda had no idea what her dog expected. Meg might be trained in autism therapy, but that didn’t mean she spoke English. She spoke…
“What language does Meg speak?”
Andi slanted a look in her direction. “Canine-ish?”
“Yet she communicates with us people. I don’t speak Canine-ish, do you?” Miranda was always bewildered by all the things her girlfriend could do.
“Not today.”
“But you might tomorrow?”
Andi shook her head. “Humor. I was being funny.”
“Should I have laughed?” Miranda could never be certain when that was appropriate but Andi was never offended when she asked.
“No, it wasn’t that funny.”
“Okay.” Miranda returned her attention to Meg.
