The God in the Car: A Novel

In a well‑appointed drawing‑room, the evening buzzes with clipped banter and half‑whispered business deals. Miss Ferrars, fumbling for her glasses, becomes an accidental catalyst as Lord Semingham, Tom Loring and a host of other figures spar over old acquaintances and looming investments. The dialogue crackles with wit, yet beneath the polite repartee a network of past grievances and unspoken ambitions begins to surface.

The story follows the uneasy reunion of Mrs. Dennison and the enigmatic Mr. Ruston, whose brief, charged exchange hints at a long‑forgotten confrontation. As old rivalries re‑emerge, a younger generation—Harry and Evan—find themselves drawn into a game of trust, reputation, and hidden motives. Listeners are invited to untangle the social weave before the stakes move beyond the drawing‑room and into the wider world of commerce and politics.
