Book excerpt: "Monza is a fine thriller, with Judd's lovely style allied to a hauntingly sad story—and a perfectly orchestrated showdownn" —Autosport MONZA A THRILLER OF FORMULA ONE RACING, LOVE, HONOR AND MURDER In the hills north of Milan is a small Italian town that once a year fills to the brim with auto mechanics, team managers and world-class race-car drivers all maneuvering for pole position. The town is Monza — Bob Judd's exciting new thriller. The national pastime in Italy is not soccer but car racing — specifically, Formula One car racing. Inter­national ace driver Forrest Evers — first met in Formula One and then again in The Race — returns as one of the two star drivers of Team Arundel, the leading contender in Italy's Grand Prix. Forrest faces off against his teammate Guido. a real sleaze bag who happens to be a driver of exceptional talent as well as one of the nastiest guys around. In record time, Forrest is in deep, deep trouble. Rossella a mysterious beauty Forrest is accused of brutally attacking, makes Forrest promise to re­move her son from harm's way; that is, to take the boy away from his father, a probable murderer.... To take the child away from Guido, Forrest's arch rival and teammate. From that point on, Monza speeds through hair­pin twists and turns of plot that include top-notch Formula One racing: orphans sold into marriage; Vito. a streetwise kid with more knowledge of F-1 racing than an encyclopedia: enigmatic and seduc­tive Anna: a mafia takeover of a local vineyard; and a father-son kickback and money-laundering scheme. Bob Judd writes about Formula One racing better than anyone, and Monza is a fast-paced, hair-raising thriller that delivers mayhem, murder, superb racing and a totally unexpected ending. Monza firmly places Bob Judd in the winner's circle of best-selling authors.
