Millions of opinions.
Captain Daniel Mercer has made a career out of keeping his passengers safe and his mistakes to a minimum.
Then, at 37,000 feet over the Atlantic, he accepts a twenty-dollar dare from his first officer and meows over an aviation emergency frequency.
Three seconds. One recording. Millions of opinions.
While Mercer tries to save his career and protect his family, Senator Wade Treadwell sees an opportunity too good to waste. Soon, a foolish cockpit prank has become a congressional investigation into a supposed conspiracy, complete with outraged commentators, nervous airline executives, and questions nobody should have thought to ask.
But the senator has secrets of his own. And the harder he pushes for answers, the closer he comes to discovering that the most dangerous truth in Washington might be his.
Sharp, darkly funny, and unexpectedly moving, The Meow That Shook America is a political satire about public hysteria, private dignity, and the extraordinary trouble ordinary people can cause when they refuse to let a small mistake remain small.
Because sometimes the smallest sound makes the biggest noise.
