About
Jockey Kelly Hughes and trainer Dexter Cranfield have been barred from racing—a devastating event for them both. The charge at the secret enquiry? Throwing a race for personal profit. It is a vicious frame-up, and worse, they have nowhere to turn to clear their names. Still, Hughes refuses to take the phony verdict lying down—even though his personal enquiry might have him lying down permanently.

Times Literary Supplement (London)
"[Has] everything required in a modern thriller…an intricate plot that unravels skillfully, mayhem, sex, suspense, excitement, and surprise denouements."
New York Times Book Review
"As usual, Dick Francis is superb in his depiction of the horse-racing world, full of greed and betrayal. Equally superb is the clarity of expression that [Ralph Cosham] brings to the novel…The pacing is flawless."
