Closing Speed is a complex, adult, intensely personal novel of professional racing during its most dangerous and most dramatic time. Set in the World Manufacturer's Championship season of 1970, it portrays the odd mix of race drivers, wives, girlfriends, team managers and journalists who populated their own tiny globe. Romance, intrigue, betrayal, tragedy — the stakes were never higher since death or disabling injury lurked around every bend of the world's most famous racetracks, and the drama that unfolds has a piercing inevitability.
