The Way to Dusty Death

The Way to Dusty Death is a 1995 made for TV thriller movie directed by Geoffrey Reeve and loosely based on the 1962 novel by Alistair MacLean, starring Linda Hamilton and Simon MacCorkindale. Johnny Harlow (MacCorkindale), world champion racing driver, suspects that the death of his friend in a racing crash wasn't an accident but a planned murder. The investigation leads Harlow to the international crime ring that uses the car racing team, owned by the recent widow of the former owner Beth MacAlpine (Hamilton), for the diamond trafficking.
