Synopsis

Everything seems to be going right for brilliant young jockey Duncan Claymore. A career on the up, a beautiful wife, and all the trappings of wealth. But Duncan is haunted by the death of one of his arch-rivals. He may not have pulled the trigger, but he still has blood on his hands.

As Duncan struggles to keep his focus on the job, Michelle O'Brien - a friend and talented fellow jockey - is killed and Duncan knows this was far from a tragic accident. He's never liked William Osborne, but now he will stop at nothing to avenge Michelle's death.

With Duncan's seemingly perfect world starting to come apart at the seams, can he balance his desire for victory on the field with his desire to see justice served?

Goodreads review by Julian

Not a classic thriller/mystery. I thought the ending was a bit weak and left several questions unanswered. Some characters such as his new wife are absent for significant parts. Needs more work I'm left thinking.......more

Goodreads review by Lisa

love horseracing mysteries as a rule but this one is not always logical and more character based than story orientated, passable but not exceptional.......more
