Product Description
It is difficult to say where disaster begins, to point towards one particular happening as the first definite step towards distant cataclysm. Looking back, Tim Ekaterin sees the beginning as the day his boss stepped into a fountain. Onwards from there, he comes across people and events as yet unconnected but which, when woven together by time and chance, leads towards violent explosive action and the threat of death. Set in the worlds of thoroughbred racing and merchant banking, the story covers a span of three years, growing from quiet harmless-seeming seeds to a wholly horrific harvest.
Book Description
Tim Ekaterin's merchant bank, like all banks, only invests in sure things. Now he's about to involve it in £5 million of prime horseflesh - a stallion called Sandcastle. Top breeders reckon it's the safest bet in racing... But racing doesn't just attract the money men of the City. It's riddled with all kinds of dubious dealmakers. People who don't think twice about breaking bones. People to whom no bet is safe until it's paid in blood - Ekaterin's blood.
