A driving tale that grips from the first turn of the key, and keeps pace long after the engine cools. Dick Hamilton's Touring Car races across a boy's-eye view of early twentieth-century America, where a fortune chase becomes a test of nerve, wit, and loyalty. This juvenile adventure novel blends racing thrills with a family mystery, drawing young readers into a brisk, escalating pursuit of wealth, honour, and truth. As hats tilt on a New England locale that feels both quaint and charged with ambition, the story honours Edwardian America's optimism while probing the moral questions of misused wealth and inherited status. The result is a racing fortune chase that rewards curiosity, courage, and teamwork, making it ideal for both casual readers and a classic-literature collecting audience. Alpha Editions' restored edition shines as more than a reprint.

A true collector's item, this is not just nostalgia but a lasting emblem of craft, character, and the enduring drama of a racing fortune pursuit.
