Drive or Die - Meet your new sports thriller obsession

AN F1-INSPIRED THRILLER, FOR THOSE WHO LIKE THEIR SPORTS ROMANCES A LITTLE DARKER . . .
Laila Finnerty, has just been offered the opportunity of a lifetime - a year-long work experience placement with F1s most prolific reporter, Sam Morgan. It's the chance of a lifetime and Laila is determined to impress. But during the first race in Bahrain, a fatal crash plunges Laila straight into the action. Rumours start to circulate that there is sabotage at play, and when Laila's friend takes the injured driver's place, Laila makes it her mission to uncover the truth before her apprenticeship ends.  
But as she gets closer to unmasking the culprit, who might be closer to home than she realises, she risks her own life and position in the paddock. And will she get to the truth before it's too late?
