DEATH
IN THE DRAFT
A “Driver 27” Mystery
On
the high banks of the super speedway, danger is a way of life and the specter of
death is an ever constant companion. But
no one expects it to arrive in the form of MURDER.
When
stock car racing’s top star dies unexpectedly at the season’s opening race
it is seen as a tragic accident, a belief that the sport’s governing body is
keen to reinforce. But, Catherine
West, the sport’s controversial Chief Medical Officer, believes that something
far more sinister is responsible.
Her
investigation leads her into conflict with racing’s power brokers, owners and
drivers. It will not only endanger
her life but that of her husband, Jim West, a one time open-wheel racing star
who is now struggling to establish a reputation in stock cars.
When
a second driver is killed at the track, the sport’s governing body launches
its own investigations. When Jim and
Catherine uncover a link between the two dead drivers, they realize they are
looking for a murderer.
A
murderer to be found embedded at the sport’s highest levels, a former racer
with promise whose career was curtailed in a crippling crash, a man driven by
jealousy and a determination to have revenge against the drivers he feels robbed
him of his chance for fame, glory and wealth.
Jim
and Cat West are now in a race to expose the killer and save the life of the
sole remaining driver from that long ago incident – Jim’s new team mate.
The race for victory has become a race for life as Jim West must prevent another “Death in the Draft.”
