Book description
When apprentice jockey Rory Gillespie abandons his fiance Laura
Brickhill, in favour of trainer's daughter Pam Fanshaw, it's a decision
made from ambition not love. And Rory has to wait ten years before Laura
will forgive him. Now one of England's leading trainers, and married to
property tycoon Luke Mundy, Laura asks Rory to ride her best horse,
Midnight Express, in Cheltenham's Two Mile Champion Chase. Shortly
afterwards, Luke is killed on one of Laura's horses and she is arrested
for manslaughter. Rory won't desert her this time and, setting out to
prove Laura's innocence, he discovers that there is more than one person
who will benefit from Luke's death.
