scirocco in novel

[DMaula at gordonrees.com (Denny Maula)]

Should've added:
"His cracked sub frame creaked like an old steel frame bed, his
voltmeter indicating a loss of power (either by his whining alternator
finally going out or a group of bad engine grounds)and having to drive
with the windows down for fear of asphyxiation due to his leaking gas
tank."

reading a book called A Death in Vienna, by Daniel Silva. It's basically

western hemisphere. It might have been dark blue once; now the exterior
had faded to the color of pumice. The windshield had a crack down the
center that looked like a bolt of lightning. Gabriel's door was bashed
in, and it required much of his depleted reservoir of strength to pry it
open. The air conditioner no longer worked, and the engine roared like a
prop plane."
