Description:
Orphaned as an infant, sexually assaulted as a naïve college student, strong-willed, impulsive Lark Chadwick is vexed and trying to figure out what to do with her mixed-up life. When she discovers the body of the aunt who raised her, Lark goes on a search for answers.
She is stunned to learn from a 25-year-old newspaper clipping that she's the "miracle baby" who survived a suspicious car accident that killed her parents at a rural railroad crossing in southern Wisconsin. Lark convinces Lionel Stone, the crusty Pulitzer-Prize winning editor, to let her do a follow-up investigation of the crash. Two of her sources are the sheriff and the town's mayor, they're running against each other for Congress, the election is a week away, and both men have a secret that will unravel the mystery.
Fast Track is the first book in the award-winning Lark Chadwick mystery-suspense-thriller series penned by former veteran CNN journalist John DeDakis. As Lark learns, in order to find purpose in life, you first have to unravel the mystery of the past.
