About this title

Synopsis

Stockton Clay, an ambitious young automotive journalist, receives a mysterious invitation to the world premiere of a secret prototype supercar. The half-Asian, half-Caucasian Clay, who was adopted as an infant and is desperate to find his own place in the world, sees this invitation as the break he had long been waiting for. At the gala event in Southern France, one of his colleagues is killed in a bizarre accident, and Clay is secretly led to CIA agents who tell him that he was the real target in the murder. Clay then discovers he suffers from a rare disease that can only be cured by the blood cells from a direct relative. Clay's search for his biological father leads him to Japan, where he is caught in the crossfire between the CIA and a mad Russian scientist trying to sway the balance of world power.

About the Author

As the first Asian-American writer at one of the Big Three American automotive publications (Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Road & Track), Sam Mitani established himself as one of the foremost American authorities on Japanese cars. In addition to being the International Editor of Road & Track in its heyday, he has been published in magazines in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Canada and Japan, and in his spare time, authored a couple of travel books on Southeast Asia. Mitani has since entered the fiction market, where his expertise in martial arts and numerous adventures around the world have provided him with a rich source of experiences to tap for his creative projects.
