MYSTERY / ACTION ADVENTURE
In Italy, a buried secret comes to light . . .
A vacation in Sicily turns deadly when young schoolteachers Andrew and his wife, Ada, find themselves commissioned to solve one of the oldest mysteries in the car world. The whereabouts of the priceless 1935 Duesenberg SJ Emmanuel owned by King Victor Emmanuel of Italy has been concealed for decades. Hot on its trail, Andrew and Ada are drawn into a world of high-stakes intrigue. “This novel lives up to the saying, IT’S A REAL DUESEY!” Joel E. Givner, 2015 President, Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club “There is nothing that suits my heart more than a story about a lost Duesenberg!” Randy Ema, Duesenberg Restoration Specialist “I was impressed with the descriptions of the automobiles. The SJ Duesenberg specs were accurate, as were the other autos described in the ‘dream collection.’” Skip Marketti, Chief Curator, The Nethercutt Collection “These automobiles are the epitome of beauty, design, class and craftsmanship. Bringing them together in a tale of mystery and intrigue brings them to life!” Laura Brinkman, Executive Director/CEO, Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum “The Duesenberg Caper is a riveting thriller. With classic cars as a lifelong passion, I became completely immersed in the drama.” Robert Pass, avid classic car collector
