 Dick Francis, Edgar Award–winning master of mystery and suspense, takes you into the thrilling world of horse racing.



 Sid Halley's career as a jockey-and his marriage-were brought to a sudden end by a heartbreaking accident. His glory days are over, but now, as a private investigator, he still finds a certain satisfaction in successfully solving a case. His latest one, though, could prove to be his undoing.



 Rosemary Casper, wife of an elite racehorse trainer, has begged for his help in figuring out why her husband's most promising horses have been performing so poorly. Halley thinks she's overreacting at first. Then hints of deceit and brutal danger make him think twice . . .
