Synopsis

To a Formula One driver, speed, wheel-to-wheel combat and danger are all part of everyday life. But things turn sinister at the Monaco Grand Prix: Sabatino's car is sabotaged and a teammate only just defies death when he suffers a horrific crash. Are these incidents in any way connected? Matt Straker, former Royal Marine and corporate intelligence director, is brought in to investigate, but he soon realizes that the perpetrators are incredibly and deviously clever. It is only by outsmarting them that he can uncover a major conspiracy intent on far more than one man's life. They're after a prize so great that the saboteurs will stop at nothing to get what they want...
