Description
One-handed ex-jockey and private investigator Sid Halley is drawn into a dangerous investigation when a trainer’s promising horses begin to fail mysteriously—and one of them dies under suspicious circumstances. As Sid races to protect a champion entered in a prestigious event, he must work in secret while confronting doping, deception, and powerful interests within the racing establishment. Meanwhile, separate cases involving a conman’s devastating scheme and criminal syndicates reveal corruption reaching far beyond the track. Set against the high-stakes world of British horse racing, this gripping thriller combines meticulous racing insight, moral complexity, and the resourceful, resilient heroics that define Dick Francis’s work.
