The Falling Woman by Richard Farrell
4.0
Does anyone really survive cancer treatment ? Or are they inevitably changed by it? A new person on the other side of their brush (or rush) toward death?
Accident investigator, Charles Radford with the National Transportation Safety Board is as prepared as anyone to deal with Erin Geraghty in the late stages of "this is as good as it gets with pancreatic cancer." Which means Erin's situation is completely beyond Radford's control. Or is it?
Radford's mentor counsels him that "If you ask the right questions, the rest will follow" and that "to get from chaos to order, you have to trust cause and effect."
He has a legal right to question any witness involved in an accident but when his investigation leads to Erin will the right questions be enough to satisfy both of them?

He writes with a lively and often humorous attention to detail that aviation enthusiasts will appreciate and beltway residents will recognize.
