Description
Angelo Perino's life is one of speed and success, but his greatest challenge lies in balancing his racing career with his personal ambitions. Loren Hardeman, a ruthless patriarch of an auto empire, is fighting to keep his family from self-destructing under the weight of its own greed and decadence. The two men come together to create the world's fastest, most advanced automobile, "The Betsy", named after Hardeman's great-granddaughter, who has captured Perino's heart. Their creation threatens to disrupt the industry, whose power brokers are determined to prevent it no matter the cost. As tensions escalate, family secrets and scandals surface, revealing the depths of Hardeman's empire-building - including murder, incestuous adultery, and organized crime. From master storyteller Harold Robbins, The Betsy pulls back the curtain on a world riddled with scandal, graft, family drama, and product recalls, giving a glimpse into the glittering but troubled world of fame, fortune, and passion of the auto industry.
