*
*Deadley Obsession
*
* captivates readers with the gripping tale of two families from starkly different backgrounds. This is part 1- The Seduction of Speed- Frank Cartland is born as the motoring era begins, his family from a lineage of village blacksmiths. Hardships marked his upbringing, yet he carried an unwavering optimism that set him apart. In sharp contrast stands George Marshall, born into old money and privilege. Despite their differences, both men find common ground in a shared, exhilarating passion for racing machines. The scars left by the First World War profoundly influenced their lives, shaping their dreams and aspirations. As they navigate the exhilarating world of speed, Frank's journey begins with bicycle repairs, quickly evolving into a fervent addiction to motorcycles and motorcars. This obsession comes at a devastating cost-mentally and physically. Throughout the vibrant years of the 1920s and '30s, their intertwined fates converge on the perilous racetracks of Brooklands, the Isle of Man, and Le Mans. This thrilling pursuit of racing dreams is fraught with drama, both on the track and in their personal lives. The influence of alluring and powerful women adds complexity and ultimately leads to heartbreaking consequences. As they race towards glory, the stakes couldn't be higher. For Frank Cartland and George Marshall, pursuing success and prestige means everything, and losing can plunge them into despair, suffering, or even death. Their relentless passion for speed drives them forward, illuminating the dangers and desires that come with a life dedicated to racing.
