The Connie had a problem it killed people. The Conquistador, or Connie as it became affectionately known throughout the world, was a big, beautiful, top-heavy Sports Utility Vehicle. One of the people the Connie killed was David Briggs s father.
The story opens as Briggs, a bright and talented young man in his mid-twenties, wins a graduate assistentship at the University of Michigan's Automotive Research Center, called the ARC. However, just before Dave leaves home to begin his research, their Connie rolls, killing his dad. As a result, Dave arrives in Ann Arbor with a vow to do extra work designing safer SUVs that resist rollovers.
Dave s passion for automotive research is matched by another student's intense interest in opera. Gina Spinelli, a voice major from Detroit, takes the apartment next to him. She has a graduate assistentship in music, a major which she pursues against the wishes of her wealthy parents and without their financial support. Her dad is chief operating officer, the COO, at World Motors Limited. WML, the country's largest motor company, manufactures the Connie.
Gina needs employment to pay her college expenses. Dave helps her get a job at the ARC where, together, they work on the University's solar car under the direction of Dave's major professor, the brilliant Dr. Sally Martin. Dave and Dr. Martin discover a cover-up. They find research showing that WML knew the Connie was unsafe but built it anyway. The two-year-old research has been suppressed since the engineer who authored it was killed in a car wreck.
Dave's heavy workload escalates. Pressure builds as his ARC assignments, the national solar car race, his doctoral exams, and his attempts to expose the cover-up, combine to overwhelm him. This causes a break-up with Gina and they become estranged. His situation reaches an intolerable state when Dr. Martin is found dead under suspicious circumstances.
In a David vs. Goliath struggle of biblical proportions, young David Briggs takes on the powerful auto industry as the fight spreads to involve the university and his educational future.

My wife and I are both avid readers of mysteries. We both found this book to be compelling and interesting. The characters are likable, relatable, and believable. The story is written in the first person, which sometimes can make for a slower pace, but the author keeps the pace going without describing needless common activities. Conspiracy stories can be difficult to buy into, but unfortunately this one is highly believable. Nevertheless, the author doesn't go off into incredible flights of fancy. He also brings the technical aspects down to a common level of understanding. You'll be entertained. Both my wife and I plan to reader another Harry Haines book.Product details
