Perfect for you if...

You love crime thrillers with a protagonist who has to clear their name against impossible odds.
You appreciate mysteries set in specialist worlds (horse racing here) where the author clearly knows their subject inside out.
You want fast-paced, tightly plotted stories that don't waste time on filler.

Maybe not for you if...

You need lengthy character development and emotional introspection before you care about the plot.
You prefer cosy mysteries or detective procedurals over high-stakes personal vendettas.
You're looking for literary prose or experimental narrative structures rather than propulsive storytelling.

About this book

Kelly Hughes, a professional jockey, has been found guilty of throwing a race for money in a closed-door enquiry. Framed and banned from horse racing, he has lost his reputation and career with nowhere to turn for help. Instead of accepting his fate, Hughes launches his own investigation to identify those responsible for ruining him and discover why they wanted him off the track. As his enquiry deepens and becomes more personal, asking the wrong questions threatens to put his life in danger. Dick Francis, an Edgar Award-winning author, brings readers into the world of horse racing through this mystery and suspense novel.
