One driver’s final lap ignites a deadly race against time. When celebrated racing captain James Mallory’s final lap at Brooklands ends in tragedy, whispers of sabotage ripple through the glamorous world of motor racing. Mildred, a former VAD nurse with a sharp mind and an even sharper tongue, refuses to believe it was merely an accident. With rivalries running hotter than engines, Brooklands was crowded with figures as intriguing as any puzzle: Rae St John, a brilliant lady racer admired for her daring but whispered about for her timing; Inspector Kent, politely unimpressed by alibis that fit too neatly; Lady Ivy Carrington, the orchid queen of society whose polished poise might conceal more than charm; and Victor Pym, an oily supplier whose ledgers were as smudged as his hands. From sabotaged brake cables to vanishing photographs, every clue points to a culprit hiding in plain sight. But the clock is ticking, and if Mildred falters, reputations will shatter, Brooklands itself could buckle under scandal—and the killer who engineered one accident may be preparing another, this time with Lady Mildred squarely in their sights. Sharp, stylish, and brimming with intrigue, The Mystery of the Final Lap will captivate readers of Agatha Christie and Rhys Bowen. Take your place at Brooklands—where speed thrills, secrets kill, and Lady Ramsay proves once again that no mystery is beyond her reach.
