Book description
Ben Copperfield is a freelance journalist who specialises in all
things equine, so when he is called with the news that the hot
favourite for the Cheltenham Gold Cup has been kidnapped, just a few
weeks before the race, he wastes no time in following the story up.
This could be the racing scoop of a lifetime.
But as the date of the Gold Cup draws ever closer, it is unclear
whether the missing horse is still alive. Where could a valuable
racehorse be hidden for so long? And what is the secret from the
owner's past that he is keeping from the police? Doggedly chasing the
truth, Ben finds himself tested, both physically and psychologically,
as he gradually uncovers a tale of prejudice, ambition and heartbreak.
