When small-town charm meets high-octane drama, anything can happen. In Sweetwater Springs, the annual Smith Lake Classic Car Show draws enthusiasts from far and wide, but this year, the show isn’t the only event revving up tension. With the town’s mayoral election just weeks away, a formerly uncontested race turns into a heated campaign when Momma decides to throw her hat in the ring—railroading a reluctant Glory into the job as campaign manager. She gets a rude awakening when it quickly becomes evident that all is fair in love and politics. Let the mudslinging begin.
When the body of the opposing candidate is found stuffed into a most unexpected location, fingers begin pointing at Momma and her retired mafia don boyfriend. With their relationships to the main suspects a little too close for comfort, Hunt and Jake are under the scrutinizing eye of the FBI and pressure builds to get the murder solved quickly. To help close the case in time for Hunt to enter his beloved ’66 Mustang into the car show, Glory decides that a little covert sleuthing is in order. From shady campaign dealings and old family skeletons to fierce car collectors with secret grudges, the case takes unexpected twists at every turn. Can Glory and Hunt sift through the clues and serve justice before someone else takes a dangerous detour?
