Arthur Hailey masterfully weaves together multiple storylines — from a senior auto executive navigating corporate politics and a crumbling marriage, to assembly-line workers enduring dehumanizing conditions and racial tension — to present a panoramic portrait of an industry at a crossroads. Written with the same meticulous research and propulsive pacing that defined Hailey's earlier blockbusters, the novel illustrates how the relentless pursuit of profit shapes both products and people. The tone is sharp and unflinching, balancing boardroom drama with deeply human stories of ambition, loyalty, and disillusionment. Wheels stands as both a compelling thriller and a pointed social commentary on the machinery — human and mechanical — that drives modern capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810593845467,"sku":"2026600003002-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/219a04e1-db35-4bce-a976-6639103c623c.png?v=1779805710","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600003002-secondhand-wheels","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
