Description
An Australian visitor arrives in England’s fiercely competitive racing world and soon discovers that a troubling pattern of failures may point to something far more sinister than bad luck. Going undercover as a stable hand, he uses his knowledge of horses—and his instincts as an investigator—to uncover a racehorse-doping scheme hidden behind the polished glamour of the turf. As suspicion spreads through trainers, jockeys, and powerful racing interests, he faces mounting danger while trying to determine whom he can trust. Combining authentic racing detail with a tightly paced mystery, the novel explores ambition, deception, loyalty, and the high-stakes obsession at the heart of professional sport.
