Goldengirl
Condition remarks:

A gripping sports thriller, Goldengirl chronicles the story of Goldine Serafin, a breathtakingly beautiful young woman engineered by her obsessive scientist father to become an Olympic champion. Set against the backdrop of the 1980 Moscow Olympics, the novel uncovers the dark and manipulative world of performance enhancement, commercial exploitation, and the crushing weight of manufactured destiny. Peter Lear — a pseudonym for crime writer Peter Lovesey — constructs a taut, suspenseful narrative that examines what happens when a human being is treated as a commodity, groomed not for love of sport but for gold medals and corporate profit. The result is a propulsive and thought-provoking read that raises urgent questions about ambition, identity, and the true cost of winning.
