Book description
Unlike some jockeys, Tony Byrne has never taken a bung and never ridden
a dishonest race. All the same, his career is heading for the rocks,
dragged down by weight problems and woman trouble - and too many slow
horses. In comparison, Freddy Montague has never been fussy about
sticking to the rules, either on the racetrack or in bed with another
man's wife. And if there's money on offer to fix races, Freddy's
guaranteed to be first on the gravy train. Unfortunately for both men,
the guarantees run out once Freddy's train comes off the rails. That's
when the gravy turns to blood... 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.
