Simon St. Scot, is an international automotive journalist and magazine editor known for his scrupulously honest new car reviews and entertaining automotive feature stories. His world is filled with luxury, largely provided by the world's car companies using exotic locales, the finest hotels, gourmet food and vintage wines to attract St. Scot and his colleagues to new car introductions.
St. Scot lives in the upstairs of a refurbished, old firehouse. Downstairs stands his collection of cherished cars from an earlier era that he tinkers with in his spare time. Writing about new cars, living with old ones... it's the perfect life for a car guy. A perfect life until his world comes crashing down. Someone is claiming that St. Scot is dirty, that he has sold out to the "dark side" and his opinions are for sale. When a colleague is found dead, he soon finds himself at the center of a plot to counterfeit the world's greatest sports cars and to control a worldwide publishing empire - no matter what the cost. His only hope for salvation lies in setting aside his knife and fork long enough to negotiate international intrigue, corporate greed, carnal temptation, and ultimately murder and mayhem.
