Description
Jack Reinhart has just inherited his grandfather’s small Indiana farm, but there is more here than he knew. Hidden beneath the barn floor is a million-dollar treasure: a vintage Bugatti roadster, French-built in 1931 for beauty and speed.
But not everyone is as thrilled as Jack. His wife Sally sees only dollar signs in the property and the old car and hopes to force the sale of both. And friends offering to help restore the antique at the isolated farm could actually be looking for a way to steal it.
Jack will have to decide who can be trusted and who cannot… and, most of all, he must solve the mystery of why the extremely valuable “Phantom” Bugatti was hidden away at his grandfather’s farm in the first place.
W.P. Truesdell’s cinematic style pulls you in as an ordinary couple experience an astonishing event with foreboding consequences. The vintage Bugatti’s restoration illuminates the story sublimely. A delight for fans of Dean Koontz and James Patterson.
