The Ghost Chauffeur

By: Hay, Andrew

When a vintage Daimler is hired for a ghost story film, siblings Billy and Ollie Ashcombe expect flat batteries and fussy actors-not phantom sightings, sabotage, and a buried 1940s love affair.

As whispers swirl around their classic car workshop in the quiet Dorset village of Langley St Michael, the Ashcombes uncover a trail of secrets hidden in the heart of the old vehicle-letters, heirlooms, and the last hope of two lovers who vanished during the war.

Caught between local legends, film set theatrics, and a rival with a suspiciously perfect restoration, Billy and Ollie must steer through layers of misdirection, danger, and half-truths to preserve a story long forgotten. Because some vehicles carry more than just history-some carry unfinished business.

Full of charm, mystery, and motor oil, Driven to Escape is the first in the Ashcombe Mysteries-a witty, warm-hearted series where every classic car has a secret.
