'One of British crime's most assured craftsmen . . . perfect
entertainment' Guardian Once again, the plumbing at Tawcester
Towers is causing consternation for the Dowager Duchess, so -
unusually for her - she gives her blessing for Blotto to take part
in the 'Great Road Race' in his beloved Lagonda ... so long as he
wins. The first prize of 10,000 pre-War sovereigns will help
towards repairing the leaky ancestral home. Blotto elects to take
chauffeur Corky Froggett as his spare mechanic, while Twinks is
despatched by her mother to the Highlands, to paint water colours
and bag herself a wealthy husband. But, on the morning of the
race's start, enfeebled by food poisoning, Blotto and Corky are
forced to employ an extra mechanic on their team - a slender,
blonde and rather attractive young American... named Ronald. So
Blotto and his team are pitted against Europe's finest, in a race
which takes them through France, across the Alps, to a finish line
at the Colosseum in Rome. Among the competitors are Florian
Carre-Dagneau, indulged son of the race sponsors, Count Daspoontz
from Germany, and the Italian Enrico Parmigiano-Reggiano. All want
to win the race, and all want the prize money and all - with the
exception of Blotto and his team - will resort to dastardly
deception and fiendish sabotage to ensure Blotto's Lagonda is not
the first car over the finishing line... The ninth hair-raising
adventure featuring the aristocratic brother and sister sleuthing
duo! Praise for Simon Brett: 'A new Simon Brett is an event for
mystery fans' P. D. James 'Murder most enjoyable' Colin Dexter 'Few
crime writers are so enchantingly gifted' Sunday Times 'Simon Brett
writes stunning detective stories. I would recommend them to
anyone' Jilly Cooper
