Synopsis: A &’38 Lagonda is driving someone to murder in &“this lively, fast-paced mystery&” series debut featuring British classic car expert and detective Jack Colby (Publishers Weekly). When Jack Colby, owner of Frogs Hill Classic Car Restorations, stumbles upon a 1938 coupé Lagonda V12 rusting away in a country barn in Kent, he longs to bring it back to its former glory. Jack also takes a shine to its owner, the fetching widow Polly Davis. Sadly, his romantic pursuits cut short. A few days later Polly is murdered just a few feet from the elegant machine. Now Jack&’s curiosity about the car—and the crime—are kicking into high gear. He knows that years ago Polly&’s late husband was found dead in the driver&’s seat. And it&’s clear she had no interest in selling or restoring the Lagonda—just hiding it. But are the rumors about Polly&’s dicey past the key to it all, or just a detour? Convinced that the Lagonda is somehow involved, especially when it disappears, Jack is determined to uncover Polly&’s secrets and bring her killer to justice, even at the risk of his own life.
