Final Lap by Malcolm Rose is a realistic fiction book. It is about the main character Luke and his buddy Malc trying to find spoilsport. You would like this book if you like adventure and sherlock holmes. Nov 08, Madeleine J rated it really liked it. Final Lap was a good book overall. Unfortunately I read the Traces series out of order so I already knew part of the ending of this book, but it was still very enjoyable to read.

The mixture of mystery and humor was very well done, as usual. I liked the plot, which revolved around a string of murders and serious injuries associated with the Youth Games. Is it the grumpy trainer?
