'Comparisons to Dick Francis are inevitable but justified...It's certainly an effective formula, especially when it includes a cast of characters that could be identified by any regular racegoer, and there are some genuinely exhilarating descriptions of races that capture the tension and excitement, and could be written only with a jockey's insight' Daily Mail -- Daily Mail 20031103

I am writing this review, as this has got to be the best john francome book, he has wrote so far.
jockey Jamie had a successful career riding flat races, until a car accident in which he lost his memory, puts him in prison for a hit and run. this book starts when he is released, he has to learn a new trade as a jump jockey, his sister pippa cant understand why her horses are starting to lose. pippa's father in law has started having a lot of winners, some were ones pippa has lost from her yard. what is pippa doing wrong ? Jamie's ex prison mate dave can tell her, when he visits her father in law's yard. pippa's husband starts killing some blackmailers, then it seems he cant stop.
i think it is unusual that we know who the killer is from the beginning, however this adds to the book's appeal.
i read this book cover to cover within 24 hours.

One of Francome's best ever. Well written, well paced and the way he portrays the differing characters is astounding. One of Francome's best if not his best. I look forward to his next book.
