Description
Edward Lincoln, a celebrated action-film star known for playing detectives, is drawn into a dangerous real-life investigation when his godmother asks him to discover why her racehorses are mysteriously failing in South Africa. What begins as a favor soon becomes more urgent after a dying friend reveals troubling secrets, sending Edward into a world of sabotage, deception, and deadly danger. Against the vivid backdrop of international horse racing, the story explores courage, loyalty, and the perilous gap between staged heroics and genuine risk. Fast-paced and sharply atmospheric, it combines racing expertise with suspense and the understated ingenuity characteristic of classic British crime fiction.
