"I really like books by this author. This is another great one. The
characters are interesting, and the plot is well laid out...I often
felt like I was out there running with them." -Dawn Dowdle for
mysteryloverscorner.com Drake and Melody are teamed up to run a
race along the California Coast for a prize of a million dollars-in
1969 when a million is worth something. Neither knows the other is
in the race before it starts. They once did undercover work
together in England, but this information is supposed to be top
secret. The race sponsor, Giganticorp, is a large and very
profitable government military contractor, whose ambitious CEO,
Casey Messinger, is connected to the powerful in Washington, which
must give him access to classified information. The nine other
pairs of runners entered in the race are world-class marathoners,
including a winner of the Boston Marathon. If this competition
isn't enough, somebody tries to knock Drake out of the race before
it begins. But Drake and Melody also receive threats calculated to
keep them from dropping out. The stakes increase when startling
events produce fatalities and impact the race, leading them to ask
whether the Cold War with the USSR is about to heat up. If so, is
it safer to line up with the hawks or the doves-because a wrong
choice may mean giving up valuable freedom for questionable
security. With their previous training and their own contacts in
Washington, Drake and Melody are in the best position to figure out
whether various events are connected and who is behind them. Their
other challenge is to keep themselves in good physical condition to
be able to compete for the prize money while running through the
spectacular scenery ofthe California coast from the Mexican border
to San Francisco.
