Summary

Aspiring racecar driver Kate Reilly goes looking for a full-time ride in the American Le Mans Series-and stumbles over a dead driver. When she takes that driverrs"s job just hours later, she also takes pole position on the list of suspects in his murder. Suddenly shers"s in the hot seat with little time to clear her name and get ready to race a Corvette at Lime Rock Park. Amidst suspicion, Kate buckles down, quickly getting to know the racecar and team, bumping into plenty of suspects who might have committed murder. Clues fly at her as fast as the turns on the track, including a cryptic list of blackmail victims, unexplainable car performance at racing speed, a jealous husband with an adulterous wife, and drivers and crew who are openly happy her predecessor is dead. Kate finds exhilaration and hazards exist on- and off-track as she throttles up both the Corvetters"s V8 and a murder investigation.The green-flag countdown ticks away, and Kate must decide who she can trust to help probe alibis, untangle rumors of team breakups and personal betrayals, and determine whose drive to win also constitutes a willingness to kill. Because whatrs"s at stake in Katers"s race to the truth is her career hellip; only by uncovering a murderer can Kate restore her reputation and prove she belongs in the racing world.
