Clear The Fast Lane – Douglas Rutherford

Description

Clear the Fast Lane by Douglas Rutherford is a fast-paced thriller that hurtles through Europe with danger at every turn. Originally published during the golden era of British crime fiction, this novel combines high-speed driving, covert cargo, and a tense atmosphere that keeps readers turning the pages. The plot follows Grant, a capable and confident driver, who accepts what seems like a straightforward challenge: drive an AC 428 sports car from England to Greece and back in just thirty hours each way.

But this is no ordinary road trip. Alongside him are two armed men and a striking woman, none of whom inspire trust. Even more unsettling is the mysterious wooden box they’re transporting—a heavy, ice-cold object of unknown importance. As the journey progresses, Grant finds himself entangled in a web of secrets and suspicion, where the stakes rise with every kilometre covered. Rutherford, a former racing driver and crime writer, brings authentic detail to the high-speed chase, making this a compelling read for fans of espionage, action, and classic British thrillers.
