An ex-jockey called Jonah Dereham agrees to bid, for a generous commission, for a young steeplechaser on behalf of a wealthy American woman. However soon after the auction two thugs demand that he hand over the ownership to them.Dereham who is now a bloodstock agent after his jockey days becomes the subject of intense pressure. His barn is burnt down, he is stabbed by a pitch fork and his brother is killed.
The stakes are high and the price that Jonah has paid has been high too. We turn the pages as quickly as possible to try and work out why the bad guys have got it in so badly for him.

You will enjoy the horse ride from Dick Francis as usual!
8/10 for me.
