Book description
When twelve-year-old David Tredington vanished, his father, one of
England's top breeders, vowed never to give up the search for his son.
Now, fifteen years later, David has been found alive and well in County
Mayo. When the charismatic young man returns to the family's Devonshire
estate, he receives a mixed welcome. His elder sister, Lucy, distrusts
him from the start. Jason, David's brother-in-law and David's cousin,
George, are even less pleased to see another heir to the Tredington
fortune. But David's natural skills as a jockey soon attract favourable
attention in the steeple-chasing world. Then a terrifying accident leads
to an innocent stable lad's death, and David suspects that his own life
is in danger. Someone knows the truth about his past and wants him to
disappear all over again. David must find out who and why before it's
too late... Ex-National Hunt Champion Jockey John Francome is a
broadcaster on racing for Channel 4. His electrifying racing thrillers
have also won him legions of fans. He lives in Berkshire. John
Francome's previous novels include Deadly Finish, Final Breath, Dark
Horse, Free Fall and Stalking Horse.
