Description
Amateur jockey and accountant Roland Britten expects a moment of triumph after an astonishing Gold Cup victory, but celebration turns to terror when he is kidnapped and held captive aboard a yacht. As he struggles to survive, the investigation draws him into a labyrinth of financial fraud, suspicious racing figures, ex-convicts, and murder. Moving between the tightly controlled world of horse racing and the dangerous schemes surrounding it, the novel explores courage, deception, greed, and the high cost of trust. With its brisk suspense, intricate plotting, and vivid ordeal-driven tension, it offers a classic racing thriller in which an ordinary professional is forced far beyond his limits.
