To a Formula 1 driver, speed, wheel-to-wheel combat and danger are all part of the job. When leading driver Sabatino s car is sabotaged, and a Ptarmigan teammate defies death in a horrific crash at the Monaco Grand Prix, a malicious threat becomes apparent. Driven introduces detective Matt Straker, ex-Royal Marine turned intelligence director, who is assigned to assist the Formula 1 team as it falls victim to a conspiracy in this high-speed thriller of corporate espionage, ego and greed.
With furious pace, the novel follows the Ptarmigan team around the famous and glamorous F1 tracks of the world, from Monza to Brazil, as Straker battles to outwit the perpetrators - resulting in a courtroom showdown - and a spectacular twist.
Technical detail and engaging characters serve to create an insight into F1 that has not yet been seen in fiction.

Paperback. Etat : Good. To a Formula One driver, speed, wheel-to-wheel combat and danger are part of every Grand Prix. But things turn sinister in Monaco when Remy Sabatino's car is sabotaged. Then Remy's teammate suffers a highly suspicious life-threatening crash. Matt Straker, former Royal Marine and corporate intelligence director, is brought in to the team to investigate. Under increasing pressure, he battles to protect its Formula One drivers as they try to race in the glamorous Grands Prix of the world, from Monza to Brazil. Straker manages to uncover a malicious conspiracy - these acts of sabotage are about far more than manipulating the World Drivers Championship. Commercial control of Formula One and the billions that flow through it are what's really at stake: a prize so great the saboteurs will stop at nothing to get what they want.
