HIGH OCTANE

DEATH IN THE FAST LANE

When a driver is brutally murdered during Detroit's Grand Prix weekend, private investigator August High is hired to find the killer before the checkered flag falls.

When famous race car driver Carlos Mendoza is found murdered in a downtown alley, the police call it a robbery gone wrong. But Isabella Ortiz, the Spanish team owner who hired August, knows better. 

As August navigates the high-stakes world of international racing—corporate suites, million-dollar cars, and ruthless competitors—he discovers that everyone had a reason to want Carlos dead. Jealous drivers. Rival teams. The backup driver who just inherited the spotlight.

But when a second body turns up and August realizes this isn't about racing at all. Something much darker is hiding beneath the glamour and speed of the Grand Prix circuit.

With only three days to solve the case, August must expose the truth before more people die. In a world where fortunes are made in fractions of a second, August High is running out of time.
