Thriller
Stanford Lichwick is a well–meaning
eco–terrorist who does his part to save the world by
trying to blow up Mississippi's newest and largest bridge.
When things go awry and Lichwick ends up a zillion pieces in
the Gulf of Mexico a spotlight shines on the tiny barrier
island of Dabearer, the landmass connected to Biloxi by the
bridge. On that island, plans are in the works for the
world's largest racetrack along with a casino hotel, golf
course, and History of American Auto Racing museum.
Enter former STOCKCAR racing champion Robert "Redball"
Redding, a retired southern hero who now works for the U.S.
Department of Justice. Redball is dispatched to Mississippi
on a purely political mission, to be the public relations
"face" of the Lichwick investigation. But that mission
morphs when Redball discovers which politicians and
gangsters are lining their pockets at the expense of the
Dabearer Island residents. Downforce is an insanely
fully romp featuring the quirky characters and inside
dealings that are as much a part of southern auto racing as
barbeque and big–mouth beer.
