Betrayal, mystery, and sabotage collide
Can one man unravel the truth before it’s too late?
February, 1997. Former racing star Rod Race dies in a brutal hit-and-run—an accident that leaves more questions than answers. Just three months later, his family business, Race Engineering, faces disaster when their latest car crashes during testing. Is this a string of bad luck, or is something far more sinister at play?
Enter Jake Elderfield, a man with his own demons. Desperate to clear his name after a fraud accusation, Jake takes on the high-stakes challenge of saving the company. But as he digs deeper, the truth becomes murkier. Was Rod planning to disappear before his death? And who can Jake trust in this tangled web of intrigue and deceit?
Carina, Rod’s unpredictable daughter, sends mixed signals—one moment an ally, the next a roadblock. James Bishop, a mechanical genius with his own agenda, hides secrets of his own. And then there’s Kat, Carina’s captivating girlfriend, whose loyalties are as uncertain as everyone else’s.
To save the company and solve the mystery of Rod’s death, Jake must use every bit of cunning and resourcefulness he has. But in a world where betrayal lurks around every corner, will it be enough?

Many of you may know me as "Cashier Number Three!" And over the last twenty years or so around 25 million shoppers every month heard me summoning them from the queue in banks, shops and post offices everywhere. My career has taken some interesting twists and turns - from cars to queues- cellular phones to celebrity chefs. But I needed something more which is why I turned to a life of crime. A reader commented that my first business book, You're Next, read like a thriller. That got me thinking. Could I write an entertaining, compelling series of novels set against the background of my career? Oh sure, there would have to be lies, fraud and murder, along with some delicious scandal and just a touch of romantic intrigue - in short, all the elements you'd expect in a compelling, page-turning thriller. So here, from my base, on the western edge of Dartmoor, in delightful Devon, I'm plotting the career of Jake Elderfield. I hope you can join me on the journey. ...or download it here.
