The annual Riverstone Beach Hop is a colorful festival that brings classic car enthusiasts together from far and wide to celebrate everything gas powered and chrome plated. But on the morning of the event Charlie Baxter, the chairman of the Classic Car Restoration Society, is found dead next to his beloved El Dorado with a lungful of gasoline. Was this a gas siphoning accident or something more deliberate? And does it have anything to do with the unidentified dead body found in Charlie's garage the day before? Then again, the last person to see Charlie alive may have been Jared Morehu's best friend Greg McQueen who has just pulled into town driving a hot rod called - The Killing Machine, with Jared's ex-girlfriend riding shotgun.

About The Brokenwood Mysteries:

Despite relishing the leisurely ways and quaint charms of country life, Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea) knows all is not well in the picturesque but murder-ridden town of Brokenwood.

Along with his methodical partner, Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland), and eager young DC Sam Breen (Nic Sampson), Shepherd must confront the violent impulses and roiling passions that can mar even the most serene locales.

In these four feature-length mysteries, the detectives face down poisonous spiders, a real-life "Clue" board game gone wrong, the death of a classic-car enthusiast and someone killing the Christmas spirit.
