A serial kidnapper known as the Piper spent years snatching children from San Francisco’s wealthiest families.

Now, after Fleetwood has languished under crippling guilt and public scorn for eight years, the Piper emerges from hiding to kidnap Fleetwood’s son. He’s demanding $2 million, but it’s not really about the money: the Piper wants blood - and he’ll use Fleetwood to get it.

Excellent series
This is book Two in the Aidy Westlake series of racing mysteries. I'd recommend listening to book One first because it's simply great, but you can start with this one, just as well.
As I said in my review of Did Not Finish, you do not need to be a racing fan to enjoy Hot Seat. It's a well-written seat-of-your-pants sort of mystery that keeps the reader guessing the whole way through.
There is a lot of intense action in this book, but it's never over the top with sex, swearing or violence. Only what's needed to carry the story forward.
I never like to give away plots, but suffice it to say that Aidy, his grandfather, Steve and his best friend, Dylan get themselves into and out of plenty of pickles. Pay attention, because things are not always what they seem in these books. That's half the fun of them.
I like this narrator, he brings a lot of depth to the characters and makes them easy to differentiate.
Can't wait for the next book in this series.

As good as Book 1 of the Aidy Westlake series
Hot Seat is another excellent murder mystery. Aidy is a race car driver who is better at solving murder mysteries than driving race cars.

Good racing murder story
Simon Wood is a good story teller. This second book of Aidy, the race car driver is almost as good as the first. Not quite as many twists but a good story line that works until the end.
