Synopsis

Racing to find a killer before he strikes again, an unlikely investigator is haunted by an even more unlikely source in this gripping crime novel. "Clark writes well and has created some amusingly zany characters." ? Publishers Weekly on Clean Sweep It's the summer of 1985 and mechanic Steve Mahoney is dreaming big about owning his own shop. He's getting there as slowly as possible, working one night shift at a time for a local towing company. One night, called to retrieve a car from the murky Red River, Mahoney finds the replacement body to his prized but damaged '67 Camaro. There's also a body inside the car, handcuffed to the steering wheel. Mahoney's able to snap the Camaro up cheap at a salvage auction, but once he's restored the car to its former glory, he discovers that its last driver is standard spectral equipment on his new ride, and she's not leaving until she finds out who sent her to a watery grave. Mahoney's Camaro is a gritty, fast-paced crime novel that will appeal to fans of Ron Corbett and Stuart MacBride. Combining expertise in the automotive world and a passion for storytelling, Michael J. Clark delivers an action-packed joyride that will grip you until the last page.

Goodreads review by Jennifer on August 14, 2019

This is probably the stupidest title for a book ever, but don't let it discourage you from reading this book. It's not literature--let's make that clear--but it's an interesting romp through an era that I remember with great fondness. Ah, youth!!

When Michael Mahoney hauls a Camaro out of Winnipeg's Red River, he sees a chance to replace his old Camaro hot rod, destroyed when a tree dropped on it. The replacement wasn't quite a bargain, and it came with a ghost--the murdered woman who was disposed of by handcuffing to the steering wheel of a......more
