Twelve years ago, his sister, Cindi, then a high school senior and aspiring professional race car driver, disapeared along with her boyfriend, Cale Lovette, who was linked to a group of right-wing extremists. The FBI joined the investigation, but it was soon terminated. Is the body Cindi's? Or Cale's?

Who is orchestrating the mayhem behind the scenes at NASCAR -- and what government secrets might have been buried more than a decade ago?"--back cover.
