"Theodosia and Drayton are drifting amid a half dozen other colorful hot-air balloons while catering a tea for the Top Flight Balloon Club when, suddenly, the sunny sky turns gray and a drone zooms out from the clouds. To Theodosia and Drayton's disbelief, the drone crashes into the balloon next to theirs, causing its three passengers to plummet to earth in a fiery explosion. The police believe the primary target was one of the occupants, Don Kingsley -- the CEO of a local software company, SyncSoft, and owner of a priceless Revolutionary War British flag -- but the killer's identity is very much up in the air. When the fiance of one of Theodosia's dear friends, who just happens to be a whistle-blower at SyncSoft, is deemed a suspect, Theodosia jumps into the investigation -- and soon realizes that even she may not be above the danger. With Kingsley's antique flag in the wind and the fear of another drone attack hovering over everyone's head, Theodosia is determined to pin down the killer before they can send anyone else into the ground." -- Provided by dustjacket.
