Spy Driver
“A well-crafted thriller. It was gritty, brutal, propulsive, and had an American James Bond feel to it. I loved it.” CE ALBANESE, Former U.S. Secret Service, TheCrewReviews.com
“More twists and turns than Monaco, all of which keep it interesting until the chequered flag.” AUTOSPORT Magazine
“Up there with the best racing themed thrillers. Not much time for pit stops. It’s a flat-out read.” ANDREW MARRIOTT, Executive Producer of the film Steve McQueen – The Man & LeMans.
“Captivating from the start. What an adventurous, suspenseful and intense story, laced with sardonic wit and intriguing characters. A great read!” KELLY WADE, WinLight News
“Enjoyed it a lot. Very interesting plot and themes and very different to most, ‘racing books.’” DAVID HOBBS, F1 driver, TV presenter.
“The book is hard to put down. I enjoyed it.” HURLEY HAYWOOD, 5-time Daytona 24 winner, 3-time LeMans 24 winner

“This thriller provided exciting and unexpected intrigue. It captivated me and I couldn’t wait to turn every page.” JUDY STROPUS, 2021 Inductee of Motorsports Hall of Fame – America
WHO COULD IMAGINE a near-fatal crash in the woods of Vermont would propel Bryce Winters into a successful career in NASCAR and IndyCar racing? When a chance encounter with a billionaire with dreams of an F1 championship takes Winters to the highest of international racing highs—at any cost—he is thrust into a clandestine world as a spy for the CIA.
Winters must pursue a championship and an elusive love interest while plotting to free himself from his handler’s dangerous and often deadly assignments. Sending a lethal message to the Russian mob, luring a terrorist to a children’s party, or coming face to face with the gun of a Chinese spy – all while dealing with a pending loss that will shake him to the core. The question isn’t “Will he succeed?” but “Will he survive?”

About the author
J.K. Kelly
11 books45 followersJK's first novels, FOUND IN TIME and THE LOST PULSE, were recognized for their fast pacing, and, in reviewing the latter, THE REAL BOOK SPY, wrote, "A must-read for fans of Brad Taylor and Mark Greaney." International thrillers THE EXPORT and THE EXPORT’S REVENGE came next. “I worked with a great editor, Ryan Steck, on those novels, and I couldn’t be more proud of them." The autobiography of JK's life in motorsports was titled FUELIN' AROUND and became very popular with the racing crowd. Then, tapping into his auto racing knowledge and writing talents, JK produced the Formula One/CIA spy thriller DEADLY DRIVER to great reviews. His love of World War II warbirds and his passion for thrillers drove him to write THE LOST BIRD with the 'Deadly' sequel SWITCHBACK launching in 2024. In addition to writing thrillers, JK gave screenwriting a try, and as 2023 comes to a close, he has three feature film scripts in the hands of Hollywood producers at their request.
He lives in Media, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Lisa, and continues a never-ending pursuit of the next adventure.
