Tom Swift and his Electric Runabout
by Victor Appleton
Tom Swift enters the upcoming race in his specially designed prototype electric race car, but while making the final preparations and adjustments a few days before the race, he discovers a conspiracy that will bankrupt not only his family, but everyone who trusts the local bank (which is the purpose of a vile banking plan). Tom must solve the mystery and stop the criminals behind the conspiracy before testing himself in a 500-mile race against some of the best cars and skilled drivers in the United States.
