In 2001, a 1938 Talbot-Lago 'Teardrop' coupe was stolen from a millionaire in Wisconsin. The car was worth $7 million and had attracted buyers, collectors, and, of course, thieves. After the owner's death, the investigation into the stolen vehicle went cold. That is, until the case landed on the desk of a private investigator with a very specific niche.

Best-selling author Stayton Bonner and private investigator Joe Ford detail the gripping international search for the 'Teardrop' as detailed in their new book, The Million-Dollar Car Detective.
