Dick Francis was a jockey and horse trainer for many years. His experience gives
his equestrian mysteries an authenticity that has attracted fans around the globe.
To honor him, the Mystery Writers of America named Dick Francis a Grand Master
for his impeccably crafted contributions to the genre.
Jockey Kit Fielding has been riding the de Brescou's horses in a succession of
triumphs on the race course. But this winning streak is about to end. Kit's twin
sister, Holly, has come to him in desperation. Threatened by financial scandal, she
and her husband may lose their training stables. Kit soon finds, though, that a
greater danger lurks behind the threat—one that could be fatal.
