The Million-Dollar Car Detective: Inside the Worldwide Hunt for a Stolen $7 Million Car - Stayton Bonner

Descriere The Million-Dollar Car Detective: Inside the Worldwide Hunt for a Stolen $7 Million Car - Stayton Bonner

\nA stolen car worth $7 million. A broke private investigator. Best friends turned worst enemies. \n \nAnd the global manhunt neither saw coming.\n \nIn 2001, thieves parked a box truck in front of an aging tycoon's factory, cut the phone lines, and used an overhead crane to lift out their prize: a 1938 Talbot-Lago T150C-SS Teardrop coupe--the most beautiful car in the world and one of only two in existence--then they disappeared into the night.\n \nThe tycoon died. The trail went cold. End of story.\n \nUntil it wasn't.\n \nIn 2015, Joe Ford was a PI trying to scrape together enough money to help his daughter, who suffers from a disease causing her to go blind, when he got a tip.\n \nA mechanic in the French Alps had been burned by a thief and had a secret to share: the location of the missing Talbot-Lago. \n \nThe reward for finding the car would mean Joe could not only save his daughter's sight but also set his family up for life.\n \nUsing skills gleaned from his mentor Chris Gardner, who taught Joe everything he knew about the business of rare luxury cars, the investigation would span a decade and involve the FBI, Interpol, a global crime ring ... and a shocking betrayal.\n \nElite racing machines, high-end thefts, and billionaires who will stop at nothing for a moment of glory--The Million-Dollar Car Detective is unlike any heist story ever told.\n
