Joe Ford, car detective, searches the world for stolen rare automobiles on the black market.
The case hes on now could set him up for lifeif hes not outsmarted by a skilled network of criminals and cheats.
Joe Ford is sitting at the Pelican Landing, an outdoor restaurant in a fancy marina on the Intracoastal Waterway. Across the way is a 180-foot yacht, the name abbracci painted across the stern.
Joes cell phone rings. Wah-wah-waaahhh. The theme music from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Joes ringtone.
“Hold on,” he says. “Its the FBI.”
