Book description
Pippa Hutchison is an aspiring young trainer, certain that given the
right horses she is as good as anyone in the business. Until, that is,
an owner removes two horses to another yard, and one shows dramatic
improvement. She enlists the help of her brother, Jamie, once a star
flat jockey, now trying to revive his racing career over fences after a
harrowing term in prison. But former wild boy Jamie has his own demons
to deal with, like the new challenge of jumps riding, the hostility of
those who can never forgive him for a young lad's death - and the black
wall within him that separates him from his past. 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.
