The most cataclysmic week of Lark Chadwick's life begins when she discovers the dead body of her aunt, a victim of carbon monoxide poisoning. This was the aunt who raised Lark from infancy after the tragic deaths of her parents in an auto accident. Yet what un-folds for Lark in the coming days is a dark and twisting mystery into the sinister circumstances of that awful day so long ago. Lark's desperate search for the truth reveals secrets that are about to put her life in great peril.
"I was so interested in what happens with Lark I couldn't put it down. It's an awe-some book-a fun read. Intrigue, humor, emotion-what more do you need?"
Carol Costello, Anchor, CNN Daybreak
"Fast Track is a page-turning thriller that you simply won't be able to put down from start to finish. The suspense is palpable, the characters unforgettable and spectacu-lar, the plot ingenious and masterfully crafted."
Barbara Casey, Author, The Coach's Wife
"I've known John DeDakis as a dedicated and skilled journalist since 1975 when I was a White House reporter for United Press International. Now, as a journalism pro-fessor, I appreciate all the more John's commitment to bringing to life ethical journalism and mentoring relationships. He knows about the roller-coaster of life's experiences and he demonstrates that in Fast Track. IT'S A MUST READ."
Wesley G. Pippert, Director, Washington Program
University of Missouri School of Journalism
"I love the story. John DeDakis' debut novel, Fast Track is such a well-woven tale, it will leave you wanting to stay up all night until you finish. The plot and scenes are rich in detail; and the characters intensely-memorable. This story will stick withyou and you will want to read it again just to be sure you caught every nuance of this fine writer's wordsmithing." Lisa Adams, Author, Bound Justice

June 23, 2009: Lark Chadwick is a likeable, naive young woman who gets a rude awakening into real life. There were times when I wanted to smack her for the stubbornness she displays, but I had to keep reading just to find out what was really going on. Thanks, John, for creating such a wonderful page-turner. I lost sleep but it was worth every wink....even reading it for the second time. The characters and scenery are very real, and the surprise near the end makes sense of the entire story. Can't wait for the sequel!

May 07, 2009: What a great ending! Totally unexpected!
I love to read and have always enjoy a good suspense novel! All of the suspense novels that I have read over the past couple of years have been disappointing because I was able to figure out the ending. NOT Fast Track! This novel kept me guessing until the end. Every time I thought I figured it out, I was proven wrong. The greatest point was realizing that what really happened was not even close to what I ever guessed! A true suspense novel that kept me wanting to turn the pages until the end! I am very much looking forward to reading "Bluff"!
