Second Split
Penny Aston is the most successful female racing driver in history. She’s spent a decade fighting her way to the top of a male dominated arena, sacrificing everything she had and more besides at the altar of victory. Superstardom beckons.
But at two hundred miles an hour, a split second is a lifetime – and in the blink of an eye she’s spiralling towards oblivion, everything she worked for taken from her. She must risk her life, and the lives of those she loves, to regain what was hers – and lay bare a devastating secret which has lain hidden in plain sight for three decades.
From the twists and turns of the world’s greatest circuits, to the danger behind the glitz of the French Riviera, to its shattering climax amongst the pitiless mountains of the Scottish Highlands, Second Split is the story of one woman’s fight for survival against impossible odds.

About the author
Andrew Duff
5 books2 followersI set out to write thrillers with heart, soul and a touch of wit and humour. Of course, it's up to the reader to decide whether I've succeeded or not.
My Lily Thorne series of heist thrillers follows the antics of a twenty-something florist, her socialite mother and their elite crew of art thieves. Heist Apprentice is a prequel to the original novel and is available for free from andrewduffbooks.com. A third book is in development.
Second Split is first and foremost a story about one woman’s fight against an unstoppable force of darkness. It’s darker than the Lily Thorne books, and stands alone.
Aside from my own experiences I draw inspiration from writers across multiple genres and media, from Harlan Coben to Joss Whedon, John Connolly to Steven Soderbergh, Philip Kerr to Terry Pratchett, Scott Lynch to Mo Hayder. There’s even some Jilly Cooper in there somewhere.
When I’m not writing or reading, I’m often out running, or thinking I should be out running. Or up a mountain, or (more often) wishing I was up a mountain. I watch a lot of motorsport, love cake and wine, try not to consume too much cake and wine.
I live in Hampshire in the UK with my long-suffering wife and daughter.
