Airbag

The Motor City runs on chrome, ego, and secrets. Now they are going to pay.

Roxy Richter is the perfect woman to do it.

She doesn't work for the Big Three-she makes them work for her. A technical scout with a hunter's instinct, Roxy moves through the red leather booths of the London Chop House and the smoke-filled boardrooms of the SAE show, scavenging the innovations car companies are too slow to see.

Sharp. Independent. Always three steps ahead of the corporate sharks.

But when she meets Sebastian-an obsessive engineer working out of a grease-stained shed-the game changes.

Together they're chasing something impossible: a life-saving system that deploys in 0.03 seconds. For the first time in her career, Roxy has found something she doesn't want to sell.

Now the industry vultures are closing in to steal it.

Between the predatory suites of the Pontchartrain Hotel and the high-octane pressure of Cobo Hall, Roxy is forced into the most dangerous race of her life. Because in a city built on steel and speed, the most dangerous component isn't the car-it's the woman who knows exactly how it works. 0.03 seconds.

In Detroit, that's the difference between a breakthrough and a total wreck.
