Marks father, an engineer with a strong devotion to his family, his faith, and to freedom, has asked permission for them to leave for Israel. For this hostile act against the strict authoritarian government, Alexander Lerner has been put into prison. The Soviet government has refused his request to emigrate.

It tore the scab off some old wounds that most people thought were healed and pretty much forgotten. Sheriff Mack Becker thought that he knew just the man to figure out what happened those many years ago. He contacted recently retired FBI agent Mark Bellingham, who specialized in cold cases and had amassed an impressive record of closures.

What Carroll Shelby wanted was a 2,400-pound sports car sheathed in carbon fiber that was the fastest road car in the world. What he got was quite a different matter! The Series 1 was one of the most highly anticipated sports cars in living memory. It was a magazine cover story seven times and countless more articles were written about it. The car was eventually produced early in 2000-but it reached its owners well behind schedule, at a higher price, and in smaller numbers than first projected. The story of the Shelby Series 1 "is about everything that could possibly go wrong and then did." It's a drama of gigantic and aspiring egos, petty prerogatives, awesome talent, bureaucratic bungling, and brilliant engineering. Of the many cars Shelby created over his career, none was as controversial as the Series 1. Snake Bit - an apt description of what happened to anyone and everyone involved in the project - is required and captivating reading for the thousands of Carroll Shelby fans throughout the world.
