Product Description
Product Description
Only when it’s too late does Mike Powell realise that he’s wasted his talents as a jockey and spoilt his marriage. His riding career is in decline; his beautiful wife, Tessa, has left him. And, to cap it all, he’s almost bankrupt, having tried to build a future by pinhooking. Then, on the way to the Sports Personality of the Year Awards, Mike is killed in a car crash.
When his old friend Jed Harvard discovers that Mike’s estate has been left to an American called George Parker - a man he’s never heard of before - his suspicions are aroused. While tracking down George, Jed discovers that Mike’s business deals have left a number of bitter enemies, and he realises that all is not what it seems...

Another cracker from the man who has taken his skills from the saddle straight to his writing desk. Carrying on the excellent suspenseful Dick Francis style with that authentic horse-racing world feel running throughout.
