title: Powerhouse Race
author: McKown, Linda
description: Racing, women, and a fast-paced life for Mic Palla was his usual norm. His hauler trailer went to Michigan, Miami, Phoenix, and Fontana. These were the final races of the season and money was there for the taking. That was until he met a young police graduate named Tiare. She was part of Derek Wright’s team investigating a mild poisoning targeted toward Mic. She was a red-haired beauty and much more than a tropical flower on a Polynesian island. Thwarting danger, a competitive driver named Dan, and Tiare’s boyfriend were the least of Mic’s problems. Winning and staying alive took precedence when accidents started happening at the tracks. There was more than one killer involved. There were former race car people, copycats, trackers, a politician, and Snake woman. Each race represented an opportunity for the killers to try again. The maze of trouble began with stolen sports cars, greed, and revenge. Interference was high on the list. There was more than the track heating up.
