This New York Times bestselling author captures our attention and holds us spellbound with a mystery about a horse jockey accused of fixing a race (The New York Times).

Dick Francis, Edgar-Awardwinning master of mystery and suspense, takes you into the thrilling world of horse racing.

A closed-door enquiry has found Kelly Hughes guilty of the lowest crime imaginable by a professional jockey, throwing a race for money. Hes been framed, his reputation is scarred, hes been banned from horse racing, and theres nowhere to turn for help.

But that doesnt mean he has to take it. Hes begun his own investigation to uncover the people who ruined his career, and to find out why they want him off the track. But when the enquiry gets too personal, asking the wrong questions might just get him killed.
