Pieces of Silver

By Mike Breslin

"The story develops at a cracking pace and the mix of characters, historical and technical facts combine to provide a compelling read." Classic Car Weekly "It's an enjoyable page-turner ... Breslin's enthusiasm for his story is genuinely engaging and you soon find yourself wanting to know what happens next to his colourfully drawn characters." Motor Sport **** "Full of twists" Auto Express English racing driver Westbury Holt sees the Auto Union grand prix cars as nothing more than his chance to be the fastest. To him the Nazi involvement is just politics, nothing to do with sport and speed. But others see the access West has to superior German technology through his links with the racing team as an opportunity. He is soon drawn into a web of intrigue that is as dangerous and unpredictable as the 520bhp racing car he drives. With the coming of World War II the boundary between right and wrong becomes blurred, and friends become enemies. But will West, now at the controls of an RAF Hurricane, find that the past is the most dangerous foe of them all? From the race tracks and the record runs of pre-war Europe, to the bullet-laced skies of Crete and the frozen killing fields of Russia, Pieces of Silver is a 200mph journey through a world of speed, love, war and betrayal.
