Description
In the high-stakes world of British steeplechasing, struggling young jockey Rob Finn is caught between the demands of the racing life and the pressures of a family shaped by music and ambition. As danger, rivalry, and personal disappointments begin to converge, Rob must confront the doubts threatening both his career and his sense of self. Blending suspenseful mystery with vivid knowledge of the racetrack, the novel explores courage, loyalty, obsession, and the fragile confidence on which success depends. It is an early example of the authentic racing atmosphere and tightly controlled storytelling that became hallmarks of its celebrated author.
