Product Description

In this masterpiece, Dick Francis, the bestselling master of mystery and suspense, takes you into the shocking world of horse racing—where one man must bring his friends' killers into the light, or else risk death himself . . .

Steeplechaser Alan York knows well the dangers of the sport. But when his best friend and rival, Bill Davidson, takes a fall in the middle of a race and doesn't get up again, Alan discovers that it was no accident. Someone rigged a trip wire to take down the running horse. The more Alan investigates, the more he suspects that there is more to the plot than just murderous horseplay. But even as he approaches the finish line to this mysterious race, those responsible for his friend's death are already planning for Alan to have a fatal accident of his own . . .
