'Devoured at a sitting... racy, pungent and swift' The Sunday Times
'Number one thriller on my list... sexy and racy' Sunday Mirror
A car worth killing for. A secret buried since Berlin fell.
When the sharp-tongued proprietor of Aristo Autos is offered a rare 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540 K, he knows he has found the deal of a lifetime. Then his prospective buyer dies. The car’s elderly owner is found dead. And the Mercedes disappears.
Unwilling to surrender either his investment or his curiosity, the vintage-car dealer sets off in pursuit. With the enigmatic Sara Greatheart beside him and some exceedingly dangerous men close behind, the trail leads from a London mews through France and Spain to Geneva—and back to unfinished business from the final days of Nazi Germany.
Fast, funny and driven by James Leasor’s near-encyclopaedic knowledge of the world’s great motor cars, *They Don’t Make Them Like That Any More* is a classic European caper-thriller with a deadly mystery beneath the bonnet.
