Count's Chauffeur
The year is 1908. When car-crazy George Ewart takes a job as chauffeur to the mysterious Count Bindo di Ferraris, he thinks he's found paradise: a powerful six-cylinder Napier open touring car to drive across Europe. But the Count is never still. He arrives at Europe's wealthiest hotspots with urgent purpose, then vanishes before anyone can ask questions. Ewart catches on gradually, the Count isn't a nobleman on holiday. He's hunting something, or someone. What begins as a dream job becomes a dangerous awakening. When Ewart finally understands the Count's true mission, he faces an impossible choice: loyalty to his employer, or his own conscience? This is early automobile adventure at its finest, when cars were terrifying machines and Europe still moved at a gentler pace. Le Queux delivers a propulsive tale of trust, betrayal, and the question of what we owe to those who pay our wages.
