On September 17, 1979, author Terry Berkson parked his Red 1963 Corvette Convertible in front of Brooklyn's Victory Memorial Hospital to be with his wife, who had just given birth to their son. When he returned, the car was gone. The theft was the starting point in his obsessive personal journey through New York's automotive underbelly, populated with bizarre eyewitnesses, hardboiled police detectives, and canny car thieves. In this touching and often hilarious account of his seemingly hopelesspath of false leads, chop shop stakeouts, childhood memories, and family crises, events lead him inexorably closer to a showdown over his stolen roadster, his past, and ultimately toward redemption.
Paperback, 208 pages, 9" x 6".
