Description
Former champion jockey Sid Halley has rebuilt his life as a private investigator, but his latest case threatens to reopen every wound left by the racing accident that cost him his hand. When a trainer’s once-promising horses inexplicably falter—and one dies—Halley is drawn into a dangerous investigation involving suspected foul play, corrupt syndicates, and the ruthless interests surrounding England’s racing world. As he pursues the truth, he must also confront threats to his remaining hand, his confidence, and the fragile new life he has created. Drawing on intimate knowledge of the sport, this award-winning thriller combines gripping suspense with a nuanced portrait of courage, identity, and resilience.
