Synopsis
Johnny Harlow seems to have it he's good looking, desired by women, and envied by men; he's also the reigning Formula One world champion and the poster boy for the world's most thrilling and richly financed sport. But after a wreck kills his best friend and maims his girlfriend, he takes a hard turn and is driven to drink. Johnny realizes something is rotten in his beloved too many things are going wrong in too many races. And when he is the apparent cause of the latest accident, he decides the time has come to sort things out. But what he begins to uncover has nothing to do with cars...and there are people will do anything to prevent him from discovering the truth.

About the Author
Alistair MacLean, the son of a Scots minister, was brought up in the Scottish Highlands. In 1941 he joined the Royal Navy. After the war he read English at Glasgow University and became a schoolmaster. The two and a half years he spent aboard a wartime cruiser were to give him the background for HMS Ulysses, his remarkably successful first novel, published in 1955. He is now recognized as one of the outstanding popular writers of the 20th century, the author of 29 worldwide bestsellers, many of which have been filmed.
