Meridian Grade Vol. 1: First Line (2nd Edition)

One timed night. One promise. Fourteen hundredths of a second.

Lena Crowe is a 23-year-old night-shift detailer saving every dollar in a coffee can to buy half of her uncle Harlan's bay. She takes $412 of it for two used tires and one entry: a single sanctioned timed night on Red Cedar Grade, the hill where her absent father went off at Hairpin 4 in 1998 and "Crowe" became a punchline. Harlan will ride with her on one condition: if she goes past the brake point she calls, he gets out of the car.

One run per driver. A funded rival with a camera wants her near Four. And an old paper ledger tells Lena exactly where her father braked, the same point that would win her the night.
