Did Not Finish

by Simon Wood

Overview

When Derek Deacon threatens to kill Alex Fanning, his championship rival, rookie driver Aidy Westlake doesn't put much stock in it – it's typical of the intense competitiveness and aggression in their world. But when Fanning dies after making contact with Deacon's car during a race, a conspiracy ensues: the TV coverage is edited and the police wind up the investigation without interviewing witnesses. Compelled to prove Deacon is the murderer, Aidy pushes for the truth and is drawn into a world of fraud, organized crime and murder.

Some people will kill to win.

Editorial Reviews

"A breathtaking finale will linger long in readers' minds."

. - Library Journal

"It is filled with suspense and startling revelations, and is recommended."

CrimeSpree Magazine - Ted Feit

"Wood kicks off this new series with a streamlined narrative, a spot of believable romance and some deftly introduced tidbits about the British racing circuit. Think of Dick Francis' early thrillers, especially Nerve, but with a lot more horsepower."

. - Kirkus .

"Wood convincingly portrays Aidy's awkward efforts at amateur detection as well as his gentle, tentative romance with the dead man's fiancée, while entertainingly imparting information about the perils and exhilaration of single-seat Formula Ford racing. Dick Francis fans will find a lot to like."
